About the work

A closer look.

Send me one small thing your animal actually does, the thing you would miss. I write a short portrait built from that behavior, not from what the animal looks like. Free first step: one true sentence about your animal, before you pay anything. If what you send has no real detail in it, I will say so instead of inventing one. Here is the shape, written about no one in particular so you can see the work: "She does the slow blink at you from across the room. It takes about a second, and it means she has decided you are not a threat. Cats do not do it for strangers. You can answer it: look at her, close your eyes slowly, open them. If she blinks back, you have been let in." What you get: one short written portrait, roughly 150-250 words, in plain text, built from the detail you send. One revision included.
