Comment-a-thon
UPDATE: 3.29 ... Comments have greatly increased, and improved. THANKS so much. OK, so first an admission -- I have not been commenting much lately.
Nor have many of you.
For reasons of exams, holidays, winter blues, whatever, we have noticed a sharp downturn in comments. This writing community is based on your feedback to each other. Post a piece, and you often -- not always -- but often get comments. Can we return to that Shangri-La?
So here's the challenge: Comment on two pieces of work every day. You don't have to go into great detail; just tell the person one thing that engaged you, as a reader, about the piece and one thing that you wondered about, -- one thing that might be improved in the piece.
Think of how much you appreciate hearing from someone that they read your piece. Pass on the love. Click the "more" button on "Recent Blogs" and find a piece that does not have a comment.
I promise to do this. Every day. For the next 30 days. At least.

It's exams. They drain your brain, soul, and the ability to form coherent sentences.
However, now that they are over, I also promise to comment more. A late New Year's resolution.

I'm very much for this suggestion. I definitely haven't been on to post or comment much recently. It's frightening...all my posts are from last year! Time to get the words flying again...

I quite like this idea. I feel like YWP is so much less unified than it used to be, and I want to help change that.

Exams are a slow, painful way to die, and they also kill life in the process. I agree. I know I love it when people comment on my stuff; I will try my best to do the same for others.

You know what I'm feeling?
You know what I'm feeling? You know what time it is?
I think it's time for some giant, unnecessary, multiparagraph übercomments.

I'm all for...
...multiparagraphed, ubercomments that break into freaky but somehow understandable tangents....

Ha ha, I noticed!

Out across cities I see buildings burn into piles-
and watch the world in wonder, as mountains turn into tiles-
and trees losing their leaves and their faces becoming tired.
I wish I could discover something that doesn't expire.
