But does it improve your craft?
My first couple of entries I wrote were very short and quick mini-stories that I wrote just to see what would happen. Surprisingly enough, I found out ,through feedback, that people cared about it and gave me suggestions to make improvements (like editing -who would have thought?). I also received some very much needed encouragement from a fellow author (thesoundandfury) that got me back to finish what I had started. As a result my stories have improved (if ratings mean anything: 4.31 to 4.36 to 4.57 to 4.61 to 4.74 ) in large part to this help and encouragement. And even the few negative e-mails I have received were valuable, in hindsight.
