But...you HAVE to publish my new book.

two people he doesn't know in person are going to buy this horseshit, and they're me and Daniel Mullen

I'm going to make sure every local library near I can find gets a copy, then I'm going to check em all out and burn em.

"thats not what writers do, talking about achievements releases the same dopamine as doing things, and it ruins your motivation to actually do things"

I had a coworker who spent all day talking about writing a book, and one day I just told him "thats not what writers do, talking about achievements releases the same dopamine as doing things, and it ruins your motivation to actually do things" and he threatened to kill me and greeted me with "fuck you" for like months. Buying his self published book was such a joy because its so hilariously bad.

So they actually followed through? I didn't expect that outcome. You might have helped him by making him want to finish it to spite you.

What was the book about? What was so shitty about it?

It's about a drug dealer doing "one last deal" before running off with his girlfriend, basically the most basic shit ever, but the funniest part is sometimes he forgets the main character isn't the narrator, and the narration starts talking gangster, it cracks me up.

The thing is for Christmas after the confrontation, coworkers started showing me pages of this piece of shit he had privately shared with them before as a gift, so I'm not alone in thinking this is a horrible piece of crap, and we'd sit in that hall and just laugh our asses off.

Pretty sure it was the other way around, i.e. his publisher telling him that since the first two books in his trilogy sold so poorly, he needed to write a brand-new novel because they weren't going to publish the final book in the trilogy.

Tor is a science fiction publishing house but I still can't believe they didn't make him to write some "orange man bad" book to publish under an imprint. By this point they had to have known Pat's Twitter audience wasn't there for his sci-fi and Tor should've tried something different to recoup their money. (If anyone from Tor is reading this feel free to reach out, maybe we can work out a consulting arrangement.)
