Why Comment on Others’ Writings?
Some reasons why we comment.
We have our own reasons for leaving comments on others work. There’s no such thing as we have to but rather a matter of we want to.
1.For the sake of friendship.
In the first place, we usually give comments to those who are in our Friend’s List. They are our priority here.
2.To return a favor.
It’s nice to repay someone for commenting on our published articles. They take time to read our works and leave comments so it’ll be nice to do the same and show our appreciation.
3.The topic is catchy.
Whenever we see a recently published piece of writing and the title is just too interesting to ignore, we’re convinced to take a look and then eventually leave comments especially when it’s not just the title but the content is amazing too.
4.Some writings are just too nice, you can’t help but comment on it.
There are those in here who finds it hard not to comment because it’s such a wonderful piece worth compliments.
5.For encouragement.
Those who comment merely for this purpose are the best. I have some friends who haven’t publish anything but always leaving comments of encouragement on my writings.
6.They are asked to.
A lot of times, we are asked to comment on our friend’s work. Sometimes this is a must when you really want a wider range of readers.
These are some of the reasons based on my observations from myself and those who comments on my page.

I totally agree with this article. In the past couple of weeks there have been similar posts which makes me wonder why is there such a problem with commenting? Personally, I am surprised to have as many “friends” as I do and only get maybe 3-5 comments. I make an effort to comment on as many of my friend’s posts as possible and try to have something to say to support them. Obviously, not all people feel the same way.
Good post!

Great write Jane and so very true!

I leave comments for all of the reasons you state here except for the last reason. Maybe it’s just me, but to ask someone to comment on somthing seems to put a responsibility on that other person that that person did not ask for.
I consider every comment I get a gift. And we all know that asking for a gift is bad manners.
September 20th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
I couldn’t agree more with your article!!
September 21st, 2009 at 12:21 am
Very true.
September 21st, 2009 at 3:58 am
Something to keep in mind. Very good.
September 21st, 2009 at 6:33 am
Haha, logical. Yes, that’s true.
September 21st, 2009 at 11:16 am
This is also a good way for them to improve on their writing if another editor suggests or comments on their work.
September 21st, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Wow, I agree 100%, well said. Sometimes is hard to keep up with everyone’s work but I try my best, to comment at least on one piece every day.
September 21st, 2009 at 1:04 pm
Great article! We need so much to support each other!
September 21st, 2009 at 2:01 pm
Very good article. I agree with Will Gray, I think as writers or aspiring writers we should support each other.
September 21st, 2009 at 2:01 pm
I also think comments are importnant no matter how good or bad
September 22nd, 2009 at 4:03 am
Lovely article and some very good points made! we are all in this together xxx
September 22nd, 2009 at 1:37 pm
comments are to the writers ego like gasoline is to a car, keeps it going.
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:36 pm
I thought your list of reasons for why we comment on other writers articles was really good. I think comments help encourage writers. I enjoy supporting my friends’ work.
September 23rd, 2009 at 10:53 am
I comment because I choose to,not out of obligation.
September 24th, 2009 at 12:03 am
Supporting one another is a very important part of writing for Triond–I agree.
September 24th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
I really like this article and I would be very grateful for more views and comments on my pieces…thank you in advance.
And to all of the Triond family Happy publishing

September 26th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
encouragement is a good reason
September 28th, 2009 at 8:43 am
Commenting on other writers is good for a lot of reasons, I like meeting new friends and also seeing what others are writing about.
September 28th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
I like comments on my work because I genuinely like to see what people think. Of course, the amount of comments you get is directly related to the amount of comments you give- & as I have been busy of late, I don’t have many comments.
But I do like this article.
September 30th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
I like your ideas about leaving comments.
October 1st, 2009 at 12:25 am
Great expressions – all what we think about.
October 2nd, 2009 at 11:44 pm
I fully agree with your comments. We are all here on Triond to help and support each other, like a community.
Making comments makes writers feel someone is not only reading their articles, but giving out their thoughts on the matter.

I like how you put the different reason for commenting on someone else work.
October 21st, 2009 at 4:01 pm
Nice. I have been reading your articles today and I notice that you get lots of comments. I think that’s wonderful. Your topics obviously reach a lot of people. Have a great day.
