Used them many times to chill out vets freaking for one reason or another, or to get them through detoxing off of booze (Librium is best for that) and/or drugs. Yeah, it's a small quibble concerning how well you write and how entertaining the story is, but I had to mention it.RegTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-213640212013188609.post-69696717315061157952010-03-02T15:04:19.685-08:002010-03-02T15:04:19.685-08:00BTW, I'd like to talk to you off the blog if y...BTW, I'd like to talk to you off the blog if you don't mind?

Finally a motherfucker who actually GE...YESSSS!!!!<br /><br />Finally a motherfucker who actually GETS it! <br /><br />This is exactly the point that I've been saying all along, that in order for a good story to rise above the rabble of mediocrity that is what the average zombie literature fan has an overabundance of, the reader must be able to connect on an emotional level. Love or hate, it doesn't matter. Personally I'm going for a little of both in my own story. But that's where redemption comes in, and I think everybody can relate to that. <br /><br />As far as your description of a lot of amateur writers out there? You are spot on. And the thing is, a lot of these writers have no first hand experience regarding any of the situations that they try to portray in their stories, and YOU CAN TELL. Most of the time I get the impression that these writers are trying to live vicariously through their stories, but would never have the balls to even remotely consider doing or saying the things they make their characters do and say. The whole thing is one big fantasy, and I imagine them stroking one off as they write it...<br /><br />OK I'm getting vulgar now, but it's the fucking truth! I'm all about REALITY. I believe that's what's going to breathe new life into the genre. I'm no pro at this, but I am a fan first, a writer second. And I've been around the block and seen a few things. You know? I like you're writing, and I will be following your story. I look forward to reading more! You've got a true fan.SheReads https://www.blogger.com/profile/09420211615895711642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-213640212013188609.post-68975324267035750522010-03-01T05:16:09.951-08:002010-03-01T05:16:09.951-08:00I can dig that.

While three of five characters are former soldiers, one got medicaled out, one did a two year stint ten years ago, and one's a mentally shot medic. However, your story is abotu fifty hobillion times better than mine with its Gibsony flavour.Deschainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07919538885716737890noreply@blogger.com
