Hey everyone,
So I got to thinking about minimal encouragers and wondering if/how others use them in their writing.
For those who don't know what I mean, a minimal encourager are small phrases, like "okay" and "yeah" that people say to indicate that they're still listening and engaged in a conversation. You commonly see professionals, like therapists, use them to encourage the client to continue with minimal disruption. (thus minimal encourager)
I feel like I often wind up ignoring them, but think they can be really helpful in breaking up exposition. What do you all think?
