Dear fellow-writers,

It occurred to me that posting and commenting can make us all feel quite vulnerable. So I thought we might implement the 'coding' of entries used by the National Writing Project. When a writer comments on something, s/he can either 'bless,' 'address,' or 'press'. 'Bless' means praise the writer (for the very nervous); 'address' means 'write a friendly critique, making suggestions on what could be changed, as well as compliments'; 'press' means 'put pressure on the writer; really challenge them to rethink and revise.' Each writer gets to choose what kind of comments they would like. What do you think?
