I wondered who the strange, pale, staring creature, looking like something from an existential silent German film was. Would you like to come in and have a nice hot toddy? You look awfully chilly in those floating muslin rags...

But... Your own writing is so beautiful. I have nommed you for multiple awards, not because I like you (though I do ::simper::) but because your stories are so damn good and the writing is astonishing... breathtaking. And as for your drabbles (sighs, for I know, I shall never write a drabble)...

Why the angst? You are a wonderful writer and we all have our own ways of going about it. My way tends to be this haphazard, spatter gun approach that works for me, but I can see it wouldn't for everyone.
