"I would give my right arm to be ambidextrous," one once said, and I'm just exploring ways in which to encourage participation in the SbS.

As I would like always to be improving, I appreciate the insights, differing POV and even critisicms (not that anyone has), and am willing to experiment with how the information is presented. My concern is that the SbS devolves into a monologue, and that wouldn't be therapeutic for me as I'm already talking with and to myself enough as it is.

And, to note, others has told me before that I tend to be a bit lengthy in my prose

alatar, I actually preferred the longer, richer posts that you had in the FOTR section. They made me notice lots of little details and it seems they sparked more debate too. THe TTT posts feel a bit quick, to be honest - and a result, I don't think we get as much to look at.

Just my thoughts, of course.

Thank you for your input. I felt that some posters were put off by the seven+ pages of endless rambling in FotR SbS. I do agree that the TTT sequences seem a bit small by comparison, and though it's helped as I've had to spend less time writing them, maybe they're too small.

I'll see if there are some sequences that we can combine. Suggestions?

LotR2-TTT-Seq10 will be posted 18-April-06. I'm hoping to catch up on some previous posts in the interim.

Anyone celebrating any holidays in the near future, well, "Happy whatever that would be!"

I'll soon be posting the RotK sequence list. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Also, note that the shorter scene sets as seen in TTT work well for me. I'm able to get the threads out consistently (well, most of the time

) with all of the 'life' that continually tries to get in the way, and so I hope that that works for you as well.

Thanks for all of the posting.

Great job, alatar. Keep it up.

I am sorry that I have not been contributing more (or contributing at all

), but rest assured that I am reading and enjoying.

Note that this week's post will be, to use an American football term, 'punted' to next week as I've gotten behind in pretty much every area of my life due to some travel. See you next week.
