Thread: Once upon a time there was a box of matches.

Garza, it may not be your writing you know. You can sow the seeds all day long, but if the soil is bad...

I'd not thought in gardening terms. But if I did, then I would be obliged to question the judgment of my peers, something I am loathe to do.

Hi Garza,

Accidentally and in a rush, I addressed previous post to Divus whereas it was meant for you... corrected and apol for mistake friends.

Please know I find your writing powerful, moving and masterful.

Please don't think of clamming up, ever... Old War Correspondents Never Die, They Move to Canada

We are so embroiled with writing, perhaps we trip over our own words sometimes?

Example:
You, "What is sad is the thought....."
Sync, "But for example if you said, 'I think it is sad.....' then well it is your opinion..."

Ok, so it's "the thought" which is sad. Question then becomes, who's thought is it? Taken to be Garza's thought surely makes it mean the same as "I think it is sad....."

Ok, I'm no grammatician. LOL

Hope you feel much better about all this in the morning Garza dear friend.

I am truly privileged to engage with you and all the amazing writers on this forum.

Yours,

Ian

Not just Canada. There are two of us in Belize with much the same experiences, but whenever I say 'remember the time...' he interrupts with 'I don't want to talk about it'.

Well, I do want to talk about it, at least within limits. So I doubt I'll stay shut up for long. I do need acouple of days to digest that first response. That really hurt. I'll get over it.

Hi Garza,

Now about your subject matter.

Feeling I got from 'tengo nada escribir' was of a world where we have let down the kids.

My references to this were probably so oblique/vague as to seem I had missed the point altogether.

Sorry, my bad!!!

Take care,

Ian

TWO in Belize,

Sheeez!!! What am I missing???

Ex rock group millionaires "Procul Harem" now live in Hawaii and on a TV interview they waved at us in UK, laughing and saying, "Hows the cold and damp... arthritis ha ha ha ha ha" - dang!

Good to have you back LOL ...as if you were ever gone!

Cheers buddy,

Ian

This is getting off-topic, folks. Please keep the comments related to the work. You're welcome to start a separate thread on this discussion.

Sorry Sam,

Ian

I will open a thread in Writing Discussions later tonight.
