Feedback: It only takes one...

[SinderellaSin]

So I've struggled with the rating of my last story. But sometimes it only takes one person to make a writer see things differently.

Just one person's feedback can make a difference. Today I received an email with personal feedback. In just a few words I felt completely different.

One person telling a writer that a story was their favourite on the site. Those positive words just changed everything for me. Trolls bring you down, but just one real positive comment can take you higher than you were before.

The power of positivity wins every time. So if you're reading this remember how much your positive reviews can lift a writer. Taking that time to send a few positive words will help.

Thank you to those who think positively.

Happy writing, happy reading.

What is it mum said to me, if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all.

When I'm struggling with a story, I take a break and go read all my old feedback messages. Gets me started up again right away. I don't think readers realize how much power they hold in just being complimentary to their favorite authors. Or how much power people have in just handing out random nice thoughts, generally.
