I like doing these thank-you journals. It's a nice way for me to keep track of who has liked my stuff, and since when, and sometimes it's good to look and see what other stuff they like in case I like it too, and (eventually) get around to looking at/reading what they've made (though I don't get a lot of time to do this, so sometimes it might take me a while to get back to it). And it makes me actually write your names out, so I start to remember the people who like my stuff frequently.
At the moment, I'm trying out a new style of writing that I find far more enjoyable than my old one, so hopefully my story output will increase. I'm also trying to be more organized with my hobbies so I can get stuff done there more than just browsing the internet and playing games all of the time.
