RANT ON WRITING

 

The writers of Cafe at a police lineup would look

something like this:

Out of ten suspects, 3 would be semi literate, 3 would

be Lilly wavers(sexual deviates) 1 a good writer, 1

1 a cognitive analyst and 1 just uses cafe to cry over

her sordid bad choices in life.

Since they are all suspects, the police just shrug and

turn them all loose to bore the writing public.

 

That condemnation having been made, my writing

does`nt make it out of the gate.  The only one`s that

like what I write are malcontents who find no good

in anything,  the sexual deviants who are always

looking for a suggestive remark and genuine

intellectuals who find originality a suitable reward.

 

This is not a personal complaint.  I get more than

my share of reviews.  What worries me is the

future of Writers Cafe.   The top writers are not

being supported by other writers.  Many excellent

writers have wandered away to other miscellaneous

web sites to hawk their wares to an appreciative

audience.

 

I have thrown every form of miscellaneous junk out

there for your consumption.   

 

Here are some results:

 

1--Sex talk scares you to death. Few reviews.

2--Violence to some is attractive.

3-- Maudlin crying and emotional pap is very

      popular.  This has drawn many reviews.

4-- Suicide, Death and degradation are quite

      popular.

5---Adventure----very little interest

6---Autobiographical articles are quite popular,

      at least these have drawn adequate reviews.

 

The next writing I will offer is ;

       GROWING UP COWBOY

There is no doubt , this will be well received.

Why ?   Because it is true and because I shed a

few tears as I was thinking about it, in other

words, a lot of it is heartbreaking.

 

Thanks for listening.

hmmm I guess this makes me a malcontent who finds no good in anything (seeing as I like what you write), and an intellect that finds origionality a suitable reward. Of course I could be a Lilly waver too if you count the pearl...I found this funny as I had the image of writers, pen in hand, lined up before the officers. Some would have a look of calamity on their faces, others a great confusion; all would be pasty white due to the great amount of time spent indoors on their computers. Big Smiles for this one.

lol I like it even if I don't necessarily agree with it all, but you do hit some valid points. I think you might enjoy my pieces "Quantity vs. Quality" and "On Writing Love Poems" if you haven't already read them. Kudos to you.

I hope I am a Lilly waver. All jokes aside. I hope you feel better after writing that because I feel better reading it. I actually came here from another site and find myself missing it. (sometimes). Thank-you for being ballzy enough to say what many are thinking.

Well said.... The WC certainly isn't what it used to be.
