Appreciating Authors

This Writer's Digest Blog post features poet & novelist Sherman Alexie's top 10 writing tips. His number one tip is, "When you read a piece of writing that you admire, send a note of thanks to the author. Be effusive with your praise. Writing is a lonely business. Do your best to make it a little less lonely." What great advice. I do not do this, and I really should. And from now on I will.
