I’d like to thank everybody who so kindly commented–I feel better now. Ebulliance has not quite triumphed, but it’s got the bastard cornered, so we’re on the right track. The nap helped. (I had this very…Mary Sueish dream. Which is only sensible, since I AM actually the main character, but nevertheless, it was very strange and appeared to be very tortured plot about a bratty princess and a troop of dragon-riding mercenaries, and I woke up going “I don’t need to worry about my art–my subconscious is the hack!”)

But anyway, you guys all rock. I felt better for having read the encouragement (and yes, the notion of someone screaming “VEERRRNOONNN!” in the snow still makes me grin. ‘Course, I’m the voice screaming “CHRISTIAAAANSEEENNNN!” from down the block, so who’m I to talk?) Anyway, I promise not to whine again for a good long time. Well, not about feeling insecure. I retain the right to whine about other things.

Like bunnies. I think my bunny whining quotient for the year is still wide open.
