Nobody believes me when I tell them I don't like to draw

[anti_cyclone]

The drawing that was due last week, and which has been making my life hell since before Thanksgiving, is now as finished as it's ever likely to be. There is no sense of satisfaction at having completed it, no feeling of accomplishment or even relief. There is only exhaustion, defeat, and the same loathing that has afflicted me from the beginning

Someday you'll tell me your name. So I'll finally have an answer for when people ask me, "Who's your favourite artist?" instead of simply saying, "some girl I know online."

Thanks, it's kind of you to say so.

It is possible to track down my real name through my website, though it's not necessarily easy.

That's all right. I'll wait until you elect to share it, rather than having to root through back doors to try and discover the secret. If it's that well hidden, it's because you want it so. I won't push the issue.

It's actually not a big secret—it's in all the copyright notices on my fractal and photo pages. However, I know perfectly well that copyright notices generally occupy a blind spot, and so it's effectively invisible.
