    Love this, Summer–both the subject and all the amazing details in each panel. I’m thinking perhaps you, like me, are a Brenda Ueland fan. (-: I also imagined myself as Natalie Goldberg, sitting in cafes and writing (which I did) and coming up with my own “Writing Down the Bones.” Again, this is a great one.

    Thing is, you ARE a writer. One of the best. It’s just that those other guys can’t DRAW.

    Indeed you ARE a writer, and your drawings tell wonderful stories of longing and fantasy, and I love Randall Imai’s comment, which is spot on: You are a writer. One of the best. It’s just that those guys can’t DRAW.

    You beautifully captured my dreams with these drawings. Utterly utterly love them. Brava!
