I don’t need claps if you don’t read my work. Have some respect.

Maybe someone who claps but has no interest in reading is simply trying to get my attention to visit his or her blog. When you do this you disrespect the effort put into creating the story. Like picking a book off a library shelf and immediately replacing it and consider it read. It’s bullshit, okay.

You did nothing here that makes me want to follow you, quite the opposite.

I’m not even going to alert you to this message, you’ll clap and not know it’s about you.

(No offense will be taken if you dislike being tagged for various reasons. Please let me know, and I’ll be sure it doesn’t happen on my posts again. If, on the other hand, you’d grace me by allowing a tag, I’d be thrilled to add you.
