(How to get more out of the comments you give)
I have found a really good method of commenting that gives me great results in the "return the favor" department.
What I do is dig around submits until I find a really cool poem I like, (very picky in the digging mind you.) then I just go to that persons page and just focus my energy on them for a while. I will read like 5 or 6 of their poems and give nice detailed comments on each one.
9 out of 10 times I always get thank you’s and return comments on my work since I started commenting like this. Also I have found it alot more fun than just skipping from person to person to person. I get to know the writers better.
Hope this helps.
peace,

I do a little but of what you described above and sometimes I just read random stuff and comment when I really feel I have something to say. It is good to read more of an authors work than just one piece, it gives more of a perspective so that commenting is a bit easier. Anyhoo..much love to ya. |
| User | Sandburg | 2005-01-05 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Your reading method will also give you additional insite that reading only one or two poems by an author just doesn’t provide. The result is that you may get more out of all the individual poems once you develp a feel for the author’s style of theme. Good advice. |
