Giving Claps
1 min readDec 5, 2020
What’s your philosophy?
After reading Roz Warren’s article about claps, I began to see claps in a different way. What are they really?
Are they my judgement about a piece? How pompous is that?
Maybe my way of saying how much I liked the piece?
A way for telling the writer, hey I read your story?
Or, I get how it is to be writing in a void. Here’s a little liferaft of encouragement?
As a fellow poet and micro fiction writer, I’m going to hold the clap icon in solidarity and maybe change the pennies you now earn back into dollars.
I’m giving 50 to mostly everyone I read to say:
Thank you. I wanted you to know you’re not alone. I stopped by and gave you a hug. Keep on writing.
Share your philosophy of claps here.
