You don't HAVE to be able to write perfectly long, gushing comments. That does not make them unsatisfying. There are SO many writers here saying that a brief 'I liked it' or 'good story' still make them happy.

(for that matter, not being perfect at something is never a good reason not to do it-- no one is perfect at something they've just started doing! Some writers appreciate every kudos as if it was a 'good story' comment, and others treasure every little word but might not know if a kudos is a sincere expression of appreciation. But the comments you fear are unsatisfying are often the kind of thing that can cheer a writer up!)

I've been writing a long time, fanfiction for fun and freelance nonfiction for work-- I literally (sometimes) get paid to communicate ideas with words, but I still sometimes feel nervous that my comments won't be 'good enough'. So I don't mean to jump on you just for having your feelings! It can be hard to comment when you don't know what to say, but... when I'm the one receiving comments, even a keysmash or a bunch of exclamation points makes me smile.

After all, in this comment thread, there are also people who worry their comments are too long and wordy, so... there's no such thing as a comment that everyone can agree is perfect, and there's no type of commenter who doesn't sometimes feel anxious about sharing their thoughts and feelings. But the writers who've shared their work are usually glad to hear it
