“everyone is made up of small details that flesh them out into characters you can care about.” — True, true! I love this essay. It flows along so well, the characters are deftly drawn, and the voice is marvelous. Bravo!

It’s a joy to read this piece again, especially so in light of the character sketch series just starting on your blog. The either/or simplicity of the question at the heart of this piece seems the perfect first blow of mallet upon chisel to reveal a detail in someone. The details revealed here, especially those you summarise in a moving penultimate paragraph, show a number of riches for further exploration. Question of the Day could easily be an on-running series of sketches from you. Although, expecting that to be unlikely, I concede that they make for one perfect and wholesome post just as they are here.
