Most writers I know, myself included, love to hear from readers. Telling us they liked something we've written and put out there is almost guaranteed to bring a smile to our faces.
Earlier this week, a friend of mine approached me following Bible Study. She blamed me for her not getting much sleep the night before, because she was up reading one of my books, The Silent Witness.
I grinned like an idiot and didn't apologize.
Readers, statements like this can make a writer's day. It can be a ray of sunshine on days the words fight us. When we question our abilities. When it just overall seems hard.
If you know a writer, find something nice to say about their work. Even a quick text saying, "I love your stuff" will do.
Trust me, we appreciate it more than you know.
