Not long after I took over the publishing of stories here I was contacted by email by a long time author ----who complained about the quality of the stories now being published ---covering up his fine work ---

He also complained that I was publishing stories too often ---so his work did not get the number of hits that it used to when publishing was done on a hit or miss basis

It then occurred to me that maybe his stories were not so great ---maybe they got a lot of hits because there was little choice of new things to read ---that if his work was truely great that it would be a shinning expample of how to write for the other new authors.

Then I came up with the Idea for the Writer's Block forum ---instead of complaining about the new authors and their stories why not try to guide them in the right direction ---Now I am going to tell you I read some of this authors stories and they are good ----so I offered this author a chance to change the way new stories are writen by giving me a hand in this new instructional forum----guess what ---this author does not have time for that --only has time to complain ----Like a lot of our "experienced" authors they would rather give a flaming bad review then take the time to offer guidance to the newbies----

So I have challenged our great authors ---to give alittle back ---to volunteer a little of their time to help guide new authors ---if you are interested contact me ---My little instructional program is not perfect ---and I could use some imput from others ---but it is better than nothing
