Okay, here is a prime example of what disgusts me the most about many lesbian writers and readers–(perhaps this is also a problem in the mainstream)….On Facebook, a writer who works for Bold Strokes –a “respected” lesbian publisher, posted this little tidbit….to the accolades of her adoring mindless fans….
“Shhh. No talking.” Helen kissed her again, this time prying her lips apart with her tongue. Maria opened her mouth and Helen reveled in the feel of their tongues playing together.
Helen was breathless when the kiss ended.
“I need you,” she whispered hoarsely.
“Take me.”Like · · Share · 6 hours ago ·

MJ Williamz Thanks everyone who liked or commented on this. I’m glad so many people enjoyed it.I mean, seriously!!? This vapid, puerile little paragraph garners all that praise? What the fuck are they smoking?? It sucks! It sucks stronger than a black hole. It’s horrible writing. Do they all have the emotional and mental development of creamed corn?This is exactly why I am so disgusted by the genre most of the time. How many imbeciles ARE THERE in the lesbian community? Is it like this everywhere and in other communities (I suspect the answer is YES–but this just happens to be the one to which I (sometimes regrettably) belong. Is the lesbian community so ravenous for fiction about other lesbians that they overlook EVERY GODDAMN thing, including how HORRIBLE it isAnd of course, no matter how much I wanted to post my own comment there, I couldn’t, because I am a lesbian author, and I would be summarily drummed out of town like the discerning pariah I am. I hate that I have to choose between my integrity or the truth in favor of being ostracized. But that’s what would happen. Even though the gay community has a long history of being ostracized–they have learned nothing about how to behave.

So true. Sometimes I really do roll my eyes at the things people consider good writing.

I can’t believe I have only just found your blog – 5 minutes after posting mine on much the same subject. Couldn’t agree more and I am not even a writer. A shame that you can’t post as yourself though but I do completely understand why. I am glad I’ve found your blog. Will enjoy going through your other posts now. Martha

Hi Martha. Thanks for your comment. I do have another pretty comprehensive blog that i write everything else on. But this one allows me to post things that might otherwise come back to haunt me, or affect my book sales. 🙂 I write also under 8 different pseudonyms for my books, some stories, articles, etc. It’s just a relief to know i have a place to have BLATANT DISREGARD for what some might think. Looks like you understand.will check out your blog as well.
Take care.
