Writers, never forget this: readers bring your stories to life.
If a reader comes back - acknowledge it. That means your words meant something.
If they tell you they liked something - acknowledge it. That connection deserves more than silence or a on emoji.
If they share that they didn’t like something - acknowledge that too. It takes courage to speak honestly.
Don’t ignore your readers. Don’t dismiss their thoughts with angry or vague response.
And above all, don’t attack them in your notes or your blog for simply engaging.
You don’t have to agree with every opinion, but if someone took the time to read your work, feel something, and reach out - you owe them basic respect.
Because without readers, stories are just words on a screen. Readers are the heartbeat of a fandom. Treat them like it.
