Learning From The Worst: Critiques On Bad Writing Running2Write 2024-07-30 | After multiple weeks of praising my favorite instances of modern storytelling, I am switching to the worst examples. These stories were so mind-numbingly bad that they tore down the good will and legacy built up by their predecessors.

I am going to describe what I've learned from these stories and how I ensure to not make the same mistakes while writing my own stories.
