Hey Jay, great rundown :) I also get a little offended when writers don’t answer. I am finding that I don’t always get to my comments immediately but I aim to get through them each week — unless I miss them by accident. I think it can be tough for more popular writers because they could spend heaps of time writing back to comments, that takes them away from writing and other commitments.
Anyway each to his own. I do find the best part of writing is this connection and it is an honor to have you and other readers take time out to read my work — even more special to hear from you. I’ve built many awesome writing friendships this way :) But this perhaps isn’t the same for everyone.
Cheers for sharing, I think it’s especially helpful for those starting out to begin with great etiquette here, it can get a little confusing and when you don’t know what you don’t know, it’s hard to do it huh?
Fabulous thoughtful, helpful piece as usual. Have a good one Jay! :)
