Hey lovely! I'm so sorry! I got super super busy this past week because I wound up at a friend's house whose husky happened to start giving birth literally as she was getting ready to drive me the hour and a half home, so I was there for a few days. Gonna see what I can get up today before another friend from out of town gets in. I'm beginning my writing quest now! Thankfully, these friends will go to bed early and I'll have the evening to write my little heart away.
All that is empty in the drawing should be filled in, the teacher said to us kids. First you sharpen the pencil to fill in the thin whiskers, then you use the thick crayon to fill in the wings with brown, meticulously and without letting the crayon leave the page. Six feet can be traced below the soft belly. Now, breathing is hard to detect on paper, the teacher said to me when I asked, but it is easier to feel it in real life.

Even insects breathe.
