Hi Cass, just letting you know today I received your comic as a birthday gift from my friend (who asked for your permission to print it) and it became one of my most prized possessions. Words have failed me to express my utmost gratitude to you, your artwork and everything you've done for many people, but I hope this message and the hard work my friend did can convey a fraction of all the love and admiration you deserve✨
Also, to show you some pictures of her beautiful work (she thought it could fit in one volume, but she miscalculated and now I'll be waiting for part two in my next bday ig)
Hope you are doing great and have an excellent weekend, and again, thank you for your permission, I'll make sure to take good care of it, because your story has helped me in a lot of way I could've never imagined.
Oh, my God?? I remember your friend asking me about it a while back kfkvngh thanks for showing me
Feliz Cumpleaños :>

I have a maybe silly question, but uh. How do I become a more interesting person? I have a horrible habit of staying home and not going out and doing things. How do I not do that? This feels very goofy as a thing to ask, but you appear to have an interesting life, therefore making you a reliable source. Do with this what you will, and please say hi to your creatures! Here is my mischief goblin Jammer for your troubles:
It may seem backwards, but...don't try to be interesting, try to be interested.
Find things you find engaging, and then find ways to pursue them. It's best if you can find some kind of group or community that also does the thing you want to try--if you're struggling to find things you like, then just start trying things local to you. You've probably got a local birdwatching group, or a sewing circle, or a community theater, or a historical society, or a comic shop that does game nights, or a group of regulars volunteering at an animal shelter, or stained glass classes, or a makerspace, or any number of little communities that are out there. Try them! The first meeting will be the worst. And if you hate it, you don't have to keep at it, and trying will give you a fun story. Sooner or later you will land on something you like and then...keep turning up.
And if you're not finding things local and in person, then just take up whatever strikes your fancy at home. If you could be incredible at any three hobbies, what would they be? What's stopping you from starting those hobbies? You're going to fail at them when you start but you're already failing at them now by not starting, so what do you have to lose?
Here's the thing: nobody wants to talk with someone who's just singing their own victories. The best stories are the ones where we tried something new and different and silly and strange and maybe messed it up, but had fun. And the best stories are shared--ask other people about the things they're into, be interested and engaged and maybe see if they're open to teaching you a little, if their interests seem fun to you. It's not about being interesting, it's about sharing passion.
So find the things you're passionate about, and keep at them even after you've failed, and the rest will follow.
And pet your cat, he's doing his job so well!
