Thoughts About Comments

There are two main things I appreciate most in good blog comments.
First is specificity: the more precise someone is when they leave me comments, the more I feel I can learn from them! Comments that just say a story was "good" or that I'm a "good writer" are encouraging, and I definitely enjoy reading them (who doesn't love flattery?), but they don't really help me grow as a writer.
Second, I love when someone comments on my specific adaptive choices. When they relate my story back to details from the original text or notice decisions I made to adapt original elements to my own story, it gives me an idea of how I can approach these assignments in future weeks.
