My periodic reminder that if someone makes something you love - art, writing, a podcast, whatever - you should let them know.

You may be the only person who does, and it may make all the difference.

@UnconventionalEmma @doot I don’t know why but for some reason — i didn’t sleep well? I’m thinking about Star Wars right now, which is very emotional to me? — this made me tear up.

@UnconventionalEmma very true! I shared my writing with one person, and they said they loved it.

Made me pick it back up after I mostly gave up on it

@UnconventionalEmma Thank you for this reminder. I'm very bad at doing this. I need to work on it.
@UnconventionalEmma That is so true. As a podcaster, I can't tell you how happy I am when someone tells they enjoyed the show.
@UnconventionalEmma I love that you reminded me of this. I do try to do it every time I log on. Happy Sunday.

@UnconventionalEmma
THIS so much!
SO many artists, amazing artists, gamedevs, writers, etc, feel like crap and feel like what they're making doesn't matter--
because its rare that people actually *say* "Hey what you're making is pretty cool! It's made a difference in my life!"

I actually save comments where people say nice things about my artwork. ^_^

@UnconventionalEmma It's so much easier to do that exact thing here on Mastodon than on Twitter because people actually respond to your messages. It's more personal and I love it.
@UnconventionalEmma @HollyGoDarkly edited #TPK and I loved that! Also the rest of the players contributed a lot.
@UnconventionalEmma. I assume this applies to toots, too! In which case, I love this one! Such excellent advice. Thank you.

@UnconventionalEmma I think the Twitter grifters ruined that for me, I would complement peoples work, they would ask me if I want to buy it, I would explain that I’m broke, then they would block me. It was weird AF.

And now that I’m saying this, the only one I can specifically “name” is that Tony guy with the stick figure drawings he tries to sell for hundreds of dollars, but still. Twitter grifters ruined that for me.
