I have been writing for almost 60 years. Writers' Cafe is the best writing site I've found. If you send me read requests, expect me to be blunt. I don't like poor grammar, misspelled words or mistakes in punctuation. Please don't send read requests for other writers, as I will not read them. I try to find stories to review, but will ignore those with mistakes. I don't appreciate obscenity, angst, or sappy love poems. I don't care if you've been abused, depressed or addicted. The more you know me, the more nice I don't become.
I have to reiterate: Do not send me read requests for other writers. Also, I am not going to honor read requests from writers who have not read and at least commented on my work. I will gladly accept friend requests from short story writers. But if you are a poet please don't send me a friend request. I will automatically reject it. If your poetry is good I'll find it.
My Read Request is turned off, and I get very annoyed when I find mail from people asking me to read their work. I look constantly for new work and comment on what I find, if it's worth commenting on. If I haven't said anything about your work yet, it's because I didn't have anything to say.
