Thats a great idea, and it’s so interesting to see all the different perspectives
Thank you Danny.
I haven’t found the time to host another gallery – it’s great fun but also time consuming.
All good wishes,
Eric
Quite a lot to consider in this blog.
Thank you Ian – we also attract some highly talented people, I reckon.
Cheers,
Eric

Beautiful Gallery. In limited words how well everyone writes, it amazes me.
Amazing, I agree. We are really blessed to have so many talented and generous writers.
That includes you too. have a nice day.
That’s sweet and thank you 🙂
So many different perspectives…
What a spicy buffet – to embellish the spice of life 🙂
This is a great idea, Eric! Sharing and exchanging is some of the best parts about blogging. These are some wonderful words from a variety of voices…..makes a writer feel less alone : )
Glad that you see it as building community, Maryam – that is the idea behind these ‘galleries’ 🙂
All good wishes
Eric
These are great, Eric. You’re rocking your site! 🙂
Thank you, Noeleen – let’s continuing rocking 🙂

It is the last line of Susan 456 – (in spite of rejections) that caught me. sip sip 😀
Oh, okay – got it. Thanks 🙂
Hi Eric. I know I’m late for this, but I got to thinking about “writing” on the way home today and wanted to share with you. I’ve been writing 100 word pieces, so this was an interesting new exercise for me.
Write, she told me
and I ignored her advice.
But she was there at my birth
and she knew what was good
and that her milk would only nourish me
for so long.

Hello Xandra,
I just popped over to read two of your latest 100-worders – enjoyed both. Looks like I’ll be a regular reader of your works 🙂
This contribution is lovely – a mother and child – what a truly fresh approach.
All good wishes,
Eric
Thank you.
Thank you Paul – you are one generous soul. Peace, Eric
Dear Eric,
Thank you for considering me one of your regulars. I am honored to be included in this fine gathering of writers.
It is always my pleasure to include your site in my own blogs, as many others should indeed stop by there and peruse your excellent offerings. To read your words, and the words of others can only inspire other writers.
Thank you also for the comments about my ‘bite’ blog. That was a quick and fun exercise. I suppose a li’l Brothers Grinn (Sex & Fidelity) still rubbed off on me–so to speak–and I continued the erotic theme. 🙂
I consider you a kindred spirit and brother and I am gratified to know that you are indeed a dear friend.
Best to you in your current book, and all your other creative WIPs. (And that has nothing to do with a quirt, mind you…) 🙂
Take care, and have a lovely weekend,
Paul
