How do you always say the sweetest things.
Nothing but the truth. I used to be a newspaper reporter and I'm still an editorial cartoon aficionado, so I know the range of what's out there. (You already do faces at least as well as
Danziger -- though that's a pretty low barrier tbh.)
And I remember what I was like at 18, in my freshman year at college -- a smart little bookworm but I had nothing like a grasp of the world and how it works, or how characters interact. I have that now, but it took a good many years to develop.
