Don’t Hurry my Friend
Why writers must understand when readers haven’t read their work yet.
I know I’m not working now. I know I have more time than others. I just want to say I understand. Don’t hurry! Just read when you can. I never want to seem over anxious to have one of my articles read.
I maybe working again before long. I know I’ll be rushing home to be a faithful reader. I do understand! One day I didn’t get to comment on my friend’s articles and I felt I had betrayed them. That’s just me old softy. I do know that life isn’t the same for everybody. I do care about each and every friend I have made.
Just read when you can. Never need to hurry. This friend will always understand.
Walk never run.
You’ll always be my fan, each and every one of you.
Good friends always understand.

Yap friends will be friends. They’re always there when you need them and give you consolation when matters go beyond their capacity to help..

As one who works two jobs, I try to read at least ten pages of submissions a day. If I don’t hit everyone @ time, I’ll eventually get caught up!
Thanks,
clay

I try and read one or two articles a day at least. My friends articles are the ones I look at first. Though I don’t always leave a comment.

This is a very nice piece. It makes a lot of sense, and speaks for many of us. Thanks!

very nice. everyone should read this.

Thanks for your understanding. It’s been very limited time to catch up the reads for those (and for me) that have to work, but eventually I will try my best to catch up the reads. Liked it.

Nice understanding message, my friend!
July 14th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Amen! Very cute.

Right, we only have so much time in the day and things to do. We do the best we can. Nicely said.

What a dear sweet thing to say. I have been having internet problems that require the cable company to replace an entire cable box on the pole outside my house. They say it will be replaced within the next few weeks. In the meantime I don’t always have internet service and I am way behind in reading my friends. You are a sweet understanding lady and I am proud to call you a Triond friend.

that’s really kind of you..that’s true of course:) we should all appreciate each other’s works

You are absolutely correct, and as our list of friends grow, the harder it becomes to get to all of them. For every article I write, I try to respond to one or two friends. If a day goes by and I have writer block, then I read a ton more.
To hurry to read someones writing, is not doing anyone justice. Reading like wine needs it time and space and done with patience and a clear head.
Never fear, a true friend understands.

These are very helpful tips. I try to comment on 3 to 4 pages of my friends work daily. If I miss some of my cool buddied today, I’ll return for them tomorrow.
Monica.

It’s understandable that we can’t read everything immediately. But when we do, we do try to catch up. Nice article.
July 20th, 2009 at 10:36 am
such wonderful and sweet words!
July 20th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
Seriously, reading and commenting on articles is a full time job in itself!

I’ve decided just to explore the community under the tag “writing”. This is the category that I’m really interested in and I read randomly. This seems to fit me.
