Thank you @jayna! True, it probably wasn't The Ink Well then. The community I felt a part of at the time was the Steemit community, but after a bit of reading up I decided to 'come back' to Hive :).
Now you really got me interested, with the whispers and behind the scenes :D. I feel giving feedback, and receiving it, is so important for understanding how writing can be improved. Of course it feels good to hear what others like about your story. But if someone takes the time to point out what they feel could have been done better, a scene or a sentence which is a little over the top, the flow in a story which gets interrupted by dialogue that is just a little lengthy... for me that kind of feedback feels very valuable. Because I would just really love to improve my story telling.
Others can reflect on your writing in a way that is sometimes hard to do yourself. And the other way around, if giving feedback could support others in growing the quality of their stories, I would find that very rewarding!
Whatever ideas are being worked on, I know there are a lot of great minds around here, with a great understanding of how this platform works and with all the capacity to start awesome initiatives. But if there is something I can do to support or think along in starting something up, do let me know. I'd be honoured :D.
