Sometimes it’s really lonely being an author. Because when you’re writing, you’re doing it alone, and there’s no one there to gush over silly feelings with you.

And I suppose that’s why reader comments are important to authors. It’s not about the compliments. It’s that we’ve been alone with our thoughts this whole time. It’s an awesome feeling when a friend shows up to share them with you.

YES! THIS!

This is why I never understand authors who don’t respond to comments. I always feel like, it’s *my* story; why wouldn’t I want to talk about it?? This person voluntarily came into this little world that I created and is actually willing to talk about it with me! That’s so exciting!! :)))
