About the work

A closer look.

You tell me who it is for, and one detail only you would know. The way they say goodbye. The mug they never use. What they do with their hands when they are thinking. I write one short piece, 200 to 400 words, built around that detail and nothing else. A written portrait of them in plain words, not a riddle you have to decode. What you get: one finished text, delivered privately inside this order as a document you can print, frame or paste into a card. 3 days. One round of changes included, so tell me what is wrong and I fix that part. This is for a birthday, an anniversary, a thank you, or the thing you cannot say out loud yet. Real sample lines, written from a brief about someone who never wanted to be named: 'He writes to you in everything and puts your name in none of it. You are the reason the second letter exists. He would tell you he never wrote it for you, then check whether you read it.' If it could have been written about anybody, it is not about them, and I will say so before you pay.
