Hi Mrs. Mxy.,
Welcome back. Good to see you here again.
I'm reading and posting less in general these days mainly because I am overwhelmed at work and don't have much free time, but I do try at least to lurk semi-frequently.
I agree with a lot of your views concerning depressing and stories and ones that hinge on a lack of communication between protagonists.
FWIW, I love getting feedback on old stories; it's great to know that they are still being read. Even a short bit of feedback such as "Well done" will bring a smile (oft much-needed these days) to my face. I, too, appreciate constructive criticism; it gives me the opportunity to learn to improve my writing.
Joy,
Lynn
