To Lanky
I have no problem with handing out compliments. Hey, I like your idea for a thread, and that’s why I’m commenting on it. Let me share a personal experience. I write a weekly Dvar Torah which goes out to two of the shuls I attend. It’s unique because I draw Mussar lessons from rock music. When I started about a year ago a few people complimented me. Lately that’s stopped. I’m tempted to ask these people if they still like what I write, but I’m reluctant to do so, because it will look like I’m fishing for praise. Really, what I’m looking for is feedback so I can improve my writing.
