Well, this blog has been idle for far too long. I really need to get stitching. I’m just never sure how to find the time in my day to stitch. I can’t just stitch for 20 minutes; if I start, I go whole hog until I’m so burnt out I don’t want to stitch anymore. Heh. Well, a new SBQ has been posted, so here I go to answer it:

Comment on your comments (giving and receiving): Do you love comments or hate them? Do you check them every day, never check them, or find them helpful? And finally, are you convinced no one is reading your blog if you don’t get any?

I love comments. I hate comment spam.

I love giving and receiving comments, though, in any form. I especially try to comment on “creative” blogs; photoblogs, stitching blogs, and so on, and I always try to leave something constructive in my comment for other people. Personally, I’d rather receive a comment that says something like “I really didn’t like this piece because of this reason” rather than a comment that says, “ohhh pretty.” So for me, much of the excitement and appreciation that comes from a comment is in the quality and the thought that went into the comment; positive or negative.

I know that comments are what inspires so many people to keep going out and doing stuff; at least at first, and if I see someone doing really good work, I comment with constructive thoughts as often as possible. I hope someone, someday, will do the same for me!

I try to tell myself that I write for me, so it doesn’t matter if I get comments or not, but really, I become pretty much convinced that no one is reading if I don’t get a comment every once in a while.
