Post a picture
This is a drawing from today in a letter to a pen pal.

I don't really like to talk about myself too much. I kinda like to keep my persona abstract.

I'm probably going to be really boring right away because my life is really not that interesting, and I generally don't have interesting things to say. Maybe if I get to know you really well, I'll come up with some stuff, but that could really take a while.

So I'd just like to take people for test runs, see if we're best buds material.

I like to keep it simple.

I have a format I use almost all of the time:

3.5x5.5", 12 pgs, will probably write 2 letters on those and send it off.
Inks are rotated throughout the month.

This is really a pen-pal specialized account, so go right ahead and look in this journal for more stuff.

I'd especially love it if you'd draw right back at me!

I've been quite unlucky with this, so why not to try again, right?
