I remember when I posted my first chapter of my first story and the feedback you gave me. You helped me get my head on straight and to write a much more powerful piece of fiction thanks to you. If you hadn't commented, I would have rushed the piece and it wouldn't have turned out the way it did. Comments giving good advice is important. But if a writer gets no comments or just acknowledgements that their stories are being read, it can definitely be discouraging. The analogy of a musician playing to an audience who doesn't react hits home very much. I've had performances like that, and they can be very discouraging and disappointing.
