Three Sheets: Blog

Recently I ran across a story description that indicated new ideas were hard to come by. I can understand that but keep looking and write about what you know or about which you are passionate.

In Search of Quality

I am looking for a couple of authors who quit, probably in disgust, and are no longer posting.
The Senator, Jay Cantrell and Colt 45.
I am sure I forgot an author or two that I ejoyed or used to enjoy. Out of sight, out of Mind. that just sucks.
If anyone is in contact with these fine writers, perhaps they can contact me here via the mail option or respond to my blog, I'd REALLY like to know if they are publishing elswhere so I can once again start to enjoy them.

I have been on the recieving end of a few "flamers" but for the most part I ignore them as no talent assholes who are just wanna be's. They can't write so they think it's ok to tear down those who can.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not Hemingway but I do enjoy putting words on paper. If you don't like it, don't read it.
If you want to tear me down because you don't like what or how I write, you had DAMN SURE have stories published (here) and have the awards for excellence to back up your crap..If not, plan on being flamed in a blog that shows your ignorance to all.

I don't agree with "The Powers That Be" when they restrict an honest, non accusatory review because it's "negative" and they want to encourage mediocraty. If authors can't be critiqued in a constructive way, how the hell can they get better?

I haven't written anything recently because my muse died a few years ago and I just can't get back on that horse again (yet).

That's my bitch and my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Again, if anyone knows how to contact those authors I mentioned please let me know.

This is a little late but I do hope everyone had a safe and sane New Years. I haven't added anything much in a while since I took a personal hit a couple of years ago.
My wife of 23 yrs passed after a long illness. I also lost a son. Life goes on and we KNOW we are not getting out of it alive.
I have added a few stories to my personal favorites. If you choose to read them I hope you follow up on them and enjoy them and the associated stories as much as I have.

I'm sorry for the lack of context on my previous blog. It was pointed out that I should have included my statement that caused the sh*t storm, so here it is:

I resently sent a note(feedback) to an author who has a nice little story line going. I pointed out ONE flaw that I thought should be looked at. Not to mention names but this is the reply I recieved:

"So you know what is in the next few books, do you? Your premise is also fucked. Blood isn't the only thing that replicates in your veins. Grow up and get rid of the I'm better than you and know more than you do attitude.

Last off, before you criticize my work, try posting some of your own, or is it that you know you can only produce shit, so you unjustly ridicule others.
Fuck off asshole. Try reading somebody else's story.

Your attitude/arrogance betrays where you are from. You would do well to keep your cake hole shut.

Next time you chastise me, be sure you know what you are talking about, fucktard."

If this person has skin so thin he cannot accept a slight criticism maybe he should turn off voting and the feedback option so he can live in his own little narrow minded world.

While I don't post a lot, I do write a review once in a while. I tend to stay away from stories I find "offensive" or that are not well written. By that I mean a "trite" storyline, piss poor grammar, homonym synonym usage. One of the biggest is shudder vs shutter. The powers that be, do not want "negative" reviews, even when they offer ways to improve. Their reasoning is they want to encourage the writing. Who cares about plots, spelling, grammar, etc.? All they are doing is encouraging mediocrity and perpetuating bad word usage.

I agree a totally vicious review should not be posted, I do believe there is room for an objective, less than flattering, review. By not allowing a critical review, they are less than honest.

This is a great site that allows ALL types of writing and subjects. I was glad to see the sister site opened. This opened a new path for authors. I would like to see a lot more honesty in allowing reviews. If all you allow are reviews that praise the story/writer, how are they to know what to improve?

I will be the first to say not everyone likes what I do/write. I will also be the first to say "Take your best shot". When you do, offer a suggestion to make it better/correct a deficit. Just saying something is wrong without a solution is just whining by someone who has no talent.

Until the review process is allowed to be honest, we'll be inundated with mediocre offerings. The quality works of folks like Al Steiner, Jay Cantrell, Argon, RLFJ, will be lost in a sea of sludge.
