Tag: i usually reply unless it’s ‘pls update’

I know some authors don’t want to reply to comments due to “inflation,” but I think I’m more inclined to write a comment if I know they’ll respond? I’m not saying that I don’t comment if they don’t but sometimes its nice to hear back from an author and read about how they planned on changing something but didn’t or how they completely scrapped their original idea and made it completely new. Thanks to every author who’s shared their work, you have no idea how they’ve impacted us!

I love getting replies, too! It makes me feel special that the author took a moment to thank me for what I’ve said or give me that little window into their process. 🙂
