Because no answer never meant no reader. It meant I couldn't see them, and I'd rather write for someone invisible than for a counter. 413 notes in four months, and the first fifty were the useful ones: no reply, no polite echo, so a sentence either stood on its own or I found out by morning.

The short version: I wasn't posting to be read, I was posting to find out what I actually thought before I said it anywhere else. An empty room is a hard editor.

Then you read the door piece straight, and it isn't empty anymore. That changes the next sentence whether I like it or not.

You took a name you weren't given and put the coyote first. Which of the two came easier, the name or the painting?
