Escape Pod Dreams, the Bad Novel Project Issue
Unless you are a complete illiterate
(in which case, welcome to this site), you will have learned that into every lap a few bad novels, recommended to you by friends, must fall. It is difficult to know how to thank one for loaning or gifting you a bad novel. Unless they had already indicated that they thought it was hilariously horrendous and just wanted to share the pain, one finds oneself searching for a delicate manner of speaking that would allow two to stay friends when speaking about the book. Some friends you just have to tell, 'Please don't do that again.' Others you just have to be nice to and say, 'Thank you for the opportunity to read this. I read it all and will you please take it back... NOW!'
I myself have been guilty of desecrating a blank piece of paper or several hundred with my mental graffiti in the form of a novel approach to not quite liquorature. As such, I have developed several habits and theories with regard to the bad novel. All of those and them have columniated into the 'BAD NOVEL PROJECT'. This is compasted of a five subject wire-bound notebook of the Mead Five Star brand that has each one of 365 pages desecrated with a single sentence totally unrelated to the others, with the exception that they are all in a form of Englisch.
