IWSG Wednesday!
It’s IWSG time, where writers across the world gather to share their writing experience or insecurities. (See below for info on the Insecure Writer's Support Group.) Here we go:
Of course I don’t think the answer is me, but it is the occasional positive comment
that makes me ponder, wait, someone likes
my word building? A person is reading me?
So the question of the day: What is the best thing someone has ever said
about your writing? For someone who is not a popular, high selling writer or
any selling for that matter, I have had a few instances of ego building
comments from others about my writing.
1. During one
of my A-Z participations, two people compared my writing style to a couple of
well-known short story writers. I must say that my head spun for days, causing
me to crash into people and objects.
2. Another
individual, regarding my posts, commented that sometimes my writing nearly caused her to snort coffee through her nose (humor wise). I love laughing so making
others laugh is a bonus for me. This comment pleased me except for wasting
good coffee, through the nose.
3. Another reader said she enjoyed reading my posts (another A-Z year)
before heading to work and hoped that I would post before she had to leave.
These comments are wedged in my heart, sparking me onward as needed.
But what matters most to me is the support of my fellow blog writers and the blog readers who continually show up here, and at the Ruralhood, to encourage me just when I need it. For this I say thank you!

The support of the bloody-verse is incredible!
Hooray for the blogoverse. And Alex's positive influence.
Loved your comment to your blog readers and writers! I'd have given up long ago without the encouragement and help. of people like you. I stumbled into blogging, and I had no idea how wonderful and supportive the blogging world is! All the best with your writing this month!
And yes, it's the very same people who've encouraged me and supported me with my writing over the years. Think I started following the Ninja Captain, just because of that image and because my sons are into Ninjas. Stayed with the group because I always learn something from them.
