Here's a little something that you should read:

"What you call being "too lazy to review" is what we call "a flame to the pages" as the writers.

That one minute or two that you felt "too lazy" to review is another minute of creeping discouragement that all writers feel as they begin to think...
"Why am I even here...?" "What's even the point of continuing?"
"My skills must be terrible...no one cares for my story..."
"I'll never be a good writer...I quit."
These are only a few thoughts that go through every writer's head- that go through MY head- when we put out a chapter/ story with all our heart and soul within and we sit there... and sit...and wait...and not a single person says even a word.

If you're not a writer, you have NO IDEA how much that hurts...

If you ARE a writer, then I'm sure you know just how great it feels when someone is kind enough to leave a heartwarming and encouraging review, and you read it, smiling and thinking..."Wow...I did it...".

So, why not give fellow writers the same luxury here?

Too many times I've seen literally epic and utterly beautiful works of art fall to pieces before finally being abandoned due to the terrible discouragement that the lack of reviews can cause. Sometimes, it is so severe that the very writer himself decides to quit, denying the world his skills of writing that I'm sure it would have enjoyed deeply.

So... Just one minute.. that's all it takes. Just a few gentle taps on your keyboard, a few seconds of your time, and your words can SAVE a writer from a dark demise.

Do me a favor: Go find a story, ANY story, and review 

And enjoy the thought in mind that you could have just SAVED that story, with just a few taps of the keyboard..."

This speech was taken from Erudite19's account on FFN. I don't know if other writers feel the same way or not, but I certainly feel what Erudite19 mentioned in her speech.

Thank you.
