Appreciation
Lately, I've been trying to post and review more in the Poetry Lounge. I mean, writers get little enough credit as it is, and it's really frustrating when no one crits your work. They need encouragement and support, and some people just don't get it enough.
Anyway, I've been trying to do this for about 3 to 4 days now. And in the past two days alone, I've gotten two Private Messages from people, saying thank you for reviewing their work. So I thought about this, and I've suddenly realise how very little people's work gets appreciated.
The sad thing is, quite often it's the Newbies. Others' work get reviewed because people know them, know what they're capable of, and so they want to see how they've compared with their old work.
So, yes. I've just decided that I'm going to be a good member, and encouarage these people, because first of all -- we all need encouragement, secondly, many of them have talent, and third, well...I remember what it was like not to have people reply, because it still happens to me from time to time.
Yeah, I don't know. I just think that if these people are happy to write it, then we should be happy to review it..
