[PUBLIC POST] Positive Feedback!

[ljwrites]

As promised, this week we discuss the flip side of last week's post, positive feedback about your writing. What are some memorable compliments you have received? How was it helpful? When is a compliment less helpful, though still no doubt appreciated? How do you give positive feedback? What effect does positive feedback have on you? Feel free to discuss these or related subjects in the comments.

like being told I'm the most beautiful woman on Earth: Not objectively true, but it's true in that moment with that particular person

Huh, yeah, hadn't thought of it like that.

Yeah, you wouldn't tell someone in that situation, "I mean, have you seen Lupita Nyong'o? Cate Blanchett?" I see such superlatives as an expression of emotion and appreciation, something special shared in that moment between two people.

Incidentally I just asked my husband, a huge fan of Blanchett since we saw Carol, who was more beautiful, her or me, and he immediately chose me. I like it when they have a sense of self-preservation. XD
