1) This is a FREE site with free stories. You don't pay a cent for reading. meaning I don't get a cent for writing.
Yet I need to eat, pay the light bill and massive medical bills. In order to do pay all this, I need to work. Meaning I have only a little time to write.
So if you don't like what you read, don't read it. No one forces you to read chapter 2 if you think Chapter 1 is garbage.
2) Even the greatest authors and writers have professional editors and you won't see a single line in print until it is edited. And then you pay for that book before you can read it.
3) The Free editors on this site are for the most part amateurs and not very committed. One guy completely re-wrote my story, garbled it up and quit after eight chapters.
Most of them offering edits and then quit, realizing how much there is.
Now I don't blame them, because I can't pay them for their service and able to make demands.
4) I am pressed for time. Extensive editing takes away time from writing.
5) I acknowledge the fact that I need editing, but I need professional editing and that I can't afford both money and time-wise. So I started doing it as suggested in the previous blog.
I have two guys doing it and I am able to compare and apply or don't apply the suggested edits.
Thanks for reading
