play63 asked: Just wanted to tell you that yours was one of the first Tumblr blogs I found back last spring and you inspired me to start my (well now, our) own. I love your writing.

I’m very flattered. There are a number of blogs I found early on that helped convince me to keep writing, and some of those still give me a good nudge when I find myself in a bit of a slump. I’d never particularly considered that I might have an audience, and so I’ve mostly been writing as an exercise in self expression. It’s always surprising and exciting for me to realize that people may actually be reading, and enjoying, what I write.

So thank you very much!
