Thoughts About Comments

I read through all of my story telling and introduction comments, and I feel like the most helpful comments were the ones that the reader actually wrote something that related to them. For my introduction posts, several readers posted a comment that talked about their family ties and their siblings which really touched me. It showed me that the reader could relate to my post and took interest in what I wrote instead of just skimming the paragraph and writing a few positive, yet blase comments. I believe comments acquired more depth when the reader tells me their opinion through their personal experience. Also, I appreciate the comments that provided feedback on my writing. Sometimes this could be a sticky situation because not a lot of people, including myself, can handle constructive criticism in a positive way. This class is teaching me to be open towards constructive criticism which will help me in the long run. I like seeing that the readers enjoyed a section of my story, but also suggested more character development or a better image to represent the story.

Comments are always appreciative. Source.
