I was looking through my emails today and I came across something really cool in my inbox..
I had recently entered a contest in which my entry just constituted leaving a comment for the author of a fiction book as it was her debut novel.
This is the email I received 🙂

It just goes to show that sometimes it pays to stop and wish someone luck and success or encourage them by letting them know that you believe their work has value to you.
This to me is the epitome of paying it forward as we each want to know that we are of value and that we are doing something great..
So my advice, take the time and comment on someone’s blog, up coming book, story, poem or even just drop a line to say hello..
