Thanks for spending time with me today. At the bottom of every newsletter is a section entitled
followed by a text box. If you liked what you read (or if you didn't), please take time and drop me a line. I'd love to hear your ideas.
From the mailbag:
From 🐕GeminiGem🎁  : Wait, just one minute. We get one CR for every 100 trinkets we collect? How did I miss this tasty tidbit?
The StoryMaster  does like to keep us on our toes.
From Leger~  : Thanks for this newsletter! It's great to have all these references at hand, and well explained. You ROCK!
From Damon Nomad  : Informative and interesting summary of numerous ways to give recognition in writing and in the WDC universe.
My pleasure.
From the Newsfeed:
From Amethyst Snow Angel  : It depends on what that means. I came here for the reviews and feedback; anything else, such as MBs and awards, is extra. I just like being able to craft stories and keep my mind active. And if people enjoy them, all the better, because half the time I don't think much of what I've written until someone comes along and says "hey, great stuff!" (After that I get prideful  )
From Santeven Quokklaus  : Well... to be honest, no. I just like people to read my work. In the real world, this is sales. On WdC, it is views. I don't get many "recognitions" (including reviews) and that's fine. But I do like to be read. That is all the recognition I require (if that's even the right word... desire, maybe?).
I agree with views. But I submit most folks here rely on reviews.
From TheBusmanPoet  : If people wish to recognize my writings, I'm not one to say no. But if they don't, I'm not going to get all twisted into knots wondering why they didn't either. It's their choice whether they wish to or not.
Do I appreciate it? Yes. But I mainly come here to post my writings and interact on the news feed. Everything else is gravy.
From HollisFrances  : Recognition is a bonus! I am happy when someone is interested enough to take the time to read my writing. But, if they comment on it, good or bad, that is recognition enough for me. :)
From drainfall : Well, yes and no. I do think recognition is important to motivate you; for example, I bet you would say, "Oh! Well, 1000+ people are waiting for more!" But, don't skip the fact that some writers may be extremely popular, but, be just okay at writing! And vice versa!
Not to be callused about it, but I think most folks do reviews for recognition. Just like many who get reviews, reward the reviewer in some way.
From guivas : Of course recognition is important to me. Getting a "like" from someone who reads and writes is valuable. It doesn't mean that if I don't get any I'm going to collapse. Maybe it means that I can do it better. I'm new here, and I don't understand clearly the meaning of the gift points.
Sum1's Home!  responded: - Think of the GPs as Writing.com currency. You can do many things with them, just as if you are shopping in town, except you would be shopping here on WDC. An example of what you can buy, obviously not a complete list. First, WDC membership! Or, you can send them to a friend, use them to thank someone for a review (I do that for every review I receive), send someone a Merit Badge, or send an Awardicon. I know I'm missing a ton of things to be done with them. But overall, think of them as WDC currency.
