Someone (PlaidIsMyWeapon) left an A/N on one of the Wattpad stories I'm reading, reposting a Tumblr post. I thought it was great so here it is:
Imagine having a coworker who likes to bake. Every week, they bring in a batch of delicious, homemade rockets cookies and leave them in the break room.
Next to the plate of cookies is a sign: "If you like my cookies, could you please leave a note saying what you liked about them? The more feedback you leave about what you like, the more incentive I have to bake."
A hundred coworkers walk by and take a cookie. One person leaves a note: "Great cookies! Bake more soon!"
The next week, once again there are cookies with the same sign. Once again a hundred people take a cookies and only one person leaves a note: "Nice! More soon!"
Week three-Once again, a hundred people take a cookie. No one leaves a note.
Week four-One hundred people take a cookie. No note.
Week five-There are no cookies. Ten people leave notes: "I miss your cookies. They were my favorites. I loved the chocolate chips. My friends really liked the way you had almonds in the cranberry ones."
Week seven-Motivated by the wonderful notes, the baking coworker stays up late to bake the best batch of cookies they have ever made. That week, a hundred people take a cookie. No one leaves a note.
The coworker gives up baking for their colleagues.
This is what it's like writing when no one leaves a good, helpful comment (Or any comment). Please, please leave a comment. Comments help motivate me to write more, and I'm sure they motivate the other writers as well.
(I wrote more in my Fanfiction.net and Quotev bios. So please take a look there. Thanks!)
