Reader Compliments on Writing

Hello, rainforest, nice to meet you. At the moment, I'm blogging and freelancing online, have a third book in progress and contemplating other projects.

Heya wolfs, hope today is a good one for you. I had the same experience with seeing my name in print, such an honor it was back then. Once, when my first article was published in the uni campus paper, it seemed like everyone on campus suddenly knew me by face and name. Everywhere I went that day, readers stopped and complimented me. That was a double whammy of seeing my name in print and getting reader compliments on my writing. And it was just a story on our band's participation and results in a competition.

Hi scheng, nice to see you. You are so right. Whether good or bad, reader feedback is crucial to writing, be it books, articles, poems or whatever. If readers are saying anything, they cared enough to read and they cared enough to respond. And if readers care enough to do all that, the writer needs to care enough to take it into account as they continue to write.

TGIF, Maria, and thanks for responding here. Mylot is a lot of fun, and mylotters are generally reliable about reader compliments on your writing. My friends here keep up with everything I do on mylot and have very constructive feedback, which helps me determine which way to go next. Thanks for being one of these wonderful people, Maria!

Heya teo, and thanks for joining in on this convo. You never know where reader compliments on your writing might take you. I was reading an update from my friend Amanda Palmer on the resurrection of her Kickstarter World Art/Book/Music Tour, and she literally lives on audience feedback from her works. It's like oxygen to her and fuels her creations.

Hello, Ariel, how's your day going? Thank you for the congrats. Actually, this book took the least initial preparation of all. I just dove in with the resources and experiences I already had and wrote it. Writing can, indeed, be challenging and exhilarating in the process. But reader compliments on my writing generate ideas and fuel my enthusiasm.

Yet another unique perspective on reader compliments on writing, thanks, wilson. Actually, I'd still like to hear reader feedback on all of my writing, self published, other edited or whatever. It's just great to hear from someone who's read it and has a response.

That would be a hig form of reader compliment, to have your writing as the basis for a seminar. Great thinking, ARIES.

Hello again, edvc, and thanks for joining in. It's great that you've discovered writing and a website for writers. It's important to get reader feedback, wherever you get it from, and writers' sites are good for that. Stay in the writing flow and your life will be happy from expressing yourself.

Heya intel, totally agree with you. Reader feedback, whether from other writers, editors or consumers, be it positive or negative, is vital in order to effectively continue our work. I was once a member of the Writing Bridge. It was great while it lasted. Then, my life changed somehow, priorities shifted, and I was unable to participate to the degree required by administrators. I'm still friends with those administrators. I just hadn't thought about going back in awhile, because my writing life got busy, and I realize now that being a member of a group comes with responsibilities. Now, if I go back or join a new group, I want to be able to give it the attention it deserves. It seems Twitterchat groups are filling that role for me at the moment. And my respect for mylotters has definitely grown from their feedback. Thank you for the congrats on my last book. The next book was nearly finished when I got an awakening here on mylot. So I tabled the book until I could address it with that new perspective, which will hopefully be soon. I want it to be what the readers, including my friends here at mylot, want and need it to be, using their generous and valuable feedback.
