Thanks for taking the 5-in-5 Challenge and all your follow-up with it! It really does do something to the mind and fingers(typing)to focus on getting those thoughts out when a clock is ticking! It is so easy to get caught up in “editing mode” when we are writing.
I’ve had a few comments sent out to the nether-regions of cyberspace before, too. Sometimes, if my post or comment is particulary well-thought-out (or long), I find myself copying and pasting it elsewhere until I see it appear on the screen. Those little things keep us sane sometimes.
My best,
Tony

It seems a pity that your previous post created such a stir in the recent 31-Day comment Challenge and not one comment was submitted in its honour against this post. So here’s the obligatory comment in feedback, written by one among many who, eventually, took you up on your initial dare to do five in five.

One of these comments was put on your original post in my attempt. The other four, three of which were successful, were submitted during the measured time of about 8 minutes while using the only strategy I could think of to get even remotely within the stipulated five.

Unfortunately, one of the sites would not accept my submitted comment, relevant though it was to that particular post. It remains like a caged bird in its Notepad file.
