What is your worst writing experience?

[Deleted member 42060]

Anything related to writing like bad reviews or getting your drafts deleted. I’ve only experienced having a 3000+-word chapter unsaved, and it was disheartening. I was too desperate to recover it, so I just decided to rewrite it. That’s my worst writing experience. What’s yours?​

Nothing has gone terribly wrong for me. There are the occasional times where I forget to save a chapter.

But my chapters aren't very long, so it's more of a short moment of annoyance before I go back to writing it again.

Publishing on RR is my worst writing experience.

Recently got my first feedback on my "novel". Ngl made me think for a long while

 

[SakeVision]

When I lose interest in my own story.

Though a feedback where a guy didn't read my synopsis and then complained about something the synopsis warned against is close second.

I love when that happens, a really great way to start the day!

I read your story and that thread just now. Ai-chan had a point in her feedback; there are a lot of issues. That being said, I was able to parse it for the most part, and the story was genuinely interesting. You've got a good thing going, just work a bit to polish your ability and don't lose to the negative feelings!

My worst experience was like yours, except I found that lost chapter.

 

[OsiriumWrites]

Never lost any chapters or work. I don’t trust my computer enough for me to type more than a paragraph before saving it. That and I keep backups in my mail.

But being 10 chapters in and realising that the style you went for is atrocious, forcing you to rewrite 10 chapters… auch.

My worst experience? I accidentally delete a little more than 170,000k due to a carelessness, 2 months of work thrown away.

That sounds painful

I wouldn't be writing for a long time after that happened

I hope you got it back

My worst has been, and I am sure everyone who writes or use to write directly on SH editor would relate to, and that is
Pushing the "Publish" button instead the "Save Draft" one

Trying to write for NaNoWriMo before I had started taking ADHD meds... That was a pretty frustrating experience.

opposite here, adhd meds made me fail nanowrimo because I was more interested in listening to music on a loop than writing

Huh? I guess you ended up overfocusing on the music?

On my case I just couldn't really put myself to work on anything that I myself had decided upon, so ADHD meds were a huge blessing~

My first ever series. It reeks of my noobish writing ranging from confusing POVs and forced writing.

I deleted 20 000 words of my story when I was feeling depressed. And I regretted it when I recovered to a normal state of mind.
