Oh, God, I never identify myself as a writer. Haven't for years after hearing so many versions of "Oh, I've got a novel in me" and "Have you written anything I've heard of?" And LITTLE PAINTS! That is 100% fuckery.

I think we've all encountered people like #littlepaints. Laughter always feels like the correct response.

When a poet licensed my art for his book cover, the very first time anyone had licensed any of my art, I had a relative demand to know how much I was paid because she felt I was making too much of a fuss over it. I just laughed at her. I didn't even respond, it was just so funny to me that she felt entitled to judge the quality of any of my artistic accomplishments.
