I disagree that writing is crappy when you do not get comments. I used to think that way. But then I remembered the newsroom. Very few wrote me when I wrote anything meaningful or kick ass. They wrote when they experienced intense emotions--which means mostly when they disagreed or downright hated it. You know, I want to become the opinion editor at my college newspaper. I am going to have to write an emotionally charged article on gay marriage to test your theory about intense emotions...
But if comments are what you want, I know a sure-fire way to get them: close with a question. Make it bold so people can find it despite skimming. *rubs hands together devilishly*
(And yes, we Narcissists do love talking about ourselves, don't we?)
