Silence can be golden. It also can be deafening. All a matter of perspectives I suppose. Some need the tv on to get to sleep while others need it off. (I love reading Tallpindo's commentaries. I've been trying to understand him for months now -WINK). Btw -- garblesnix and all who visit this forum -- What works of yours I have been fortunate enough to view and read are truly, brilliantly written. I understand why you and others might not want some to be posted in the writer's gallery at times, but I would enjoy your constructive commentaries on mine and other writers' written pieces in the writer's gallery - should you be so inclined. I noticed above it's being asked how to get more writers involved. Just the very act of asking such a question says something, to me at least. From my travels here during my short time, I and others feel there to be a disconnect, rightly or wrongly. Some think there are two clubs of writers here -- those in the forums and those in the writers gallery. Just my simple thoughts and observations from myself and others who comment my way. What's that old saying? - "Don't kill the messenger". WINK. Many thanks in advance. My best, T.P.
