Feed Your Writing Back
What do you most crave for your writing?
Apart, that is from having a Publisher take up your manuscript and make you an offer you couldn’t refuse. Or a reader, tune themselves to your words so completely, that they are in some (small) way transformed by the process.
You want to write. You want to be published. You want to be read.
Sure.
But, I’d argue there’s something else you find invaluable as a writer? And that something is? Receiving feedback on
your writing.
I find this a positive thought. That even if you don’t have the power to make your own literary desires come true overnight, you can assist a fellow writer by taking a little time to comment constructively on
their work.
Hopefully this thought also has a positive impact on you and I’m hoping you’ll Try It. Take a moment to click and read a piece of writing that appears on unheardwords and offer your invaluable (to the author) comments on it. Afterall, Unheardwords exists to encourage and support new writers and new writing, alongside its mission to make the unheard
heard.
Imagine your fellows; like a nest of newly hatched literates, fingers typing hungrily at the keyboard yearning for the food of acknowledgment. How else will those in-development develop, unless they are given some constructive guidance, some feedback on their work? And, who better to guide than those of ‘like’ minds?
But WAIT, I see a Full-Stop before my eyes. I hear you protesting -but we wouldn’t know where to begin, and we wouldn’t want to offend, and we’re writers not critiques. To which I’ll simply reply, 'to be a critical reader, to think about what you like or dislike about a piece of writing, is to develop as a writer'.

So go ahead, help another whilst helping your self to develop as a writer. And give us all the benefit of your feedback.
