Hey Guys!
Hope everyone's doing fine. It's nearly Friday, yay. This week flew by in a second...
Also, most action seems to happen here while i'm asleep :D
@CitizenErased14 I don't have many comments on my blog. The few i have are positive and nice, but they are always specific. Like "i loved that picture where", or "i really like how you wrote the part where", you know what i mean. It never feels like they just write nice stuff for the sake of writing nice stuff. I write comments in a similar manner. If i don't understand something, i ask, rather than saying "well this is crap, i don't understand it".
I think i'm lucky because so far whoever did not like my writing didn't spend time to be nasty about it.
One thing i struggle with when i'm writing my detective story is i'm never sure whether i'm giving out clues that are totally obvious, or i'm hiding way too much. So when i get comments regarding this, it's very useful. I love to see how other people understan the little signs. Helps me improve a lot.
If i got hundreds of comments that all would be like "omg, nice blog!" i would feel a bit like "oh, is it really?"

Yes, exactly! I learned in real life as well that when someone makes a positive comment, the best thing is just to say "thank you". There's no need to be apologetic about or make excuses about it.

Okay, now I am switching up the subject and throwing out my own question for @everyone -- Do you ever struggle with how to feel about POSITIVE feedback/praise?
