What would you consider a great compliment in regard to your writing?

In my writing, I have found that honest reviews are the best. Family and friends will usually tell you what they think you want to hear and are doing it out of kindness ., but that honest review from a stranger that has read your work will always be the best compliment whether it is a good or a bad review.Good reviews will make you smile and that occasional bad one will help you improve... unless it's some troll being a jerk.

Pretty much if they can say something specific or detailed about what exactly they liked about something I wrote instead of just saying it was good. I’d rather know why it was good.

Probably I would be fine with them just not calling the police . 🤭😂

I became sidetracked by your use of "in regards to" instead of "in regard to" or simply "regarding".

Maybe just a typo.

Anyway, I guess it depends on the context. For something simple like a ten word story on SW, just a positive reaction emoji is pleasant enough.

For something more complex, like a number of paragraphs explaining something not easy to convey in less than that, good feedback for me would be evidence that what I'd written had been understood and found helpful, based on a longer response or feedback to it.

I think your writing is beautiful. Quite publishable too. For some just saying thank you may just be simple words but it's a lot for them

I have written some poetry and prose here and have enjoyed that others have responded and commented on some of the metaphors I have used.
I do have a 125k Novel/story I have written but stalled on in its 2nd edit.
It is a science fiction/horror/fantasy story.

Depends on where. If it's SW, having people I like give reasoned feedback on it. At work, not having people complain or nitpick it.

This is something that has never crossed my mind only because I`ve never been very word worldly enough to write anything.

The fact it moves her to action. That's an accomplishment.

Published work is a nice compliment. But not something I "need" per se.

When someone lets you know they enjoyed reading it and then ask for more

The greatest one I got was when someone narrated volume 1 of my story

When someone really reads my book and leaves a honest review.

It was Legible

When readers tell me it's their nth read and they feel the same thing they did or more when they first read it :)
When my story becomes like a home my readers can go back to when they are in need of something.

People usually thank me. If they say that my posting struck a chord with them or it effected them in some way or they explain how and why, then I am moved deeply.

Just my handwriting in general because when I get caught up it looks like boiled noodles, look like squiggles 😭

I like what you said....

I got to the end....
