Too Many Flashbacks

I'm not a fan of flashbacks. As a reader I find a story riddled with flashbacks confusing and annoying. If you get the urge to insert a lot of flashbacks into your fiction, stop writing and take a nap. If you still insist on putting them into your story, go ahead. But if they don't work, and on publication you are criticized for this decision, flashback to when you made this mistake, then never to it again.
