I'm so horrible at responding. I never want to have a cliche response but I also can't take a compliment to save my life. I keep trying to do better at it.
Comments are the best, be they good or bad. I learn from either and have even PM'd a member when I didn't understand their comment or was looking for more information. I always than each person who comments on my stories or poems.

What you learn in life is important; those you help learn are more.
I interact with writers who know I take my work seriously. I consider my works as a painting of my personality. Always in need of a touchup.
