Have you read 50 Shades of Grey? I have not. I have no interest. Why? It’s simple: I resent the success of something that is not well written. Of course, I assume it’s not well-written. A friend sent me a link to this post on The Red Pen of Doom blog to validate my assumption.
In brilliant fashion, The Red Pen took said “red pen” to the first page of 50 Shades, inserting edits and comments that should make all of us wonder how this thing got published. Enjoy.
To quote The Red Pen: “Are you kidding me? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?”
It’s a little frustrating that bad writing can make millions of dollars. Maybe I’m in the wrong genre. The next time the devil comes around, I may consider selling my soul to him and creating a steamy romance novel. You just never know.
I have no interest in reading this book either! I will, however, see what The Red Pen has to say:-)
