Member-only story
Newsflash!
You can suck as a writer and “make it” on Medium.
Damn. And here I thought I wouldn’t write one of these stories again, but I have to get this off my chest or I’ll implode.
I just read a story that received over 1.5k claps and was curated, to boot. To say that it was “amateurish” is a gross understatement. To say that it read like it was written by a teenager (C-student, max), doesn’t adequately describe how bad this piece of caca is.
Adding insult to serious injury, there was a ton of typos. Now, I’m not a freak about little mistakes, but when shit-on-shit is curated, I have to start wondering what the hell is going on.
Now, I realize that I have the proverbial ax to grind as I haven’t been curated for months. I couldn’t tell you why as I seem to receive decent reads, claps, fans, ad nauseam, but there it is. Is it personal? Maybe. Why? Because I don’t pander. I don’t kiss ass and I don’t pretend to like crap in order to win friends.
That’s just how it is, folks. I’m in my sixties, now. I don’t have a job with an asshole of a boss that I have to kowtow for. And, since I could be infected tomorrow, life is far too short for bullshit.
