 Message  I’ve been here for 250 plus days as well and although I don’t really get a whole lot of comments on my work I chalk it up to lack of skill and I’m still having a pretty good time trying to get better. I think I’ll just laugh until my head pops off, smile until I burst. heh heh sorry random radio head outburt.


peace,

 Message  i agree, patience is a virtue. it takes time to get to know people and to build a foundation. give it time, and i assure you that it will all fall into place for you. this site is not crap. i’ve been here almost a year, and i’ve learned so much and have been inspired by so many wonderful writers here.

good luck.

 Message  Well, you’ve only been here 13 days. In writing, patience is a virtue. You really haven’t been here long enough to know who the good commenters are, or to establish any sort of repertoire. It’s a big site, and often times, people start to notice that they are in certain "critique circles". You don’t have a whole lot of views for each of your poems. This is probably because people don’t know you yet. I would suggest hanging out in the forum or branching out a little more before calling the site crap and telling people to wise up...that’s a sure way to keep the good commenters away. I’ve been here for 250 plus days. I usually get at least 20 comments per piece, but it certainly didn’t start off that way.

Be patient,
be nice,
and be honest in your critiques.

It will pay off...you’ll see.

Good luck.
