#ScribesAndMakers 19: A stranger ever recognized you because of your creative work?
"Recognized" me in terms of realizing who I am? I don't believe so, though see below.
"Recognized" me in terms of offering an interview or guest post on their site? Yes, a few times. I've written such posts on time travel, on mathematics, and was once on the "Zannen, Canada" podcast (which looks at Canadian anime connections). Because my CBC anime interview from the late 90s pops up in the weirdest places.

#ScribesAndMakers 20: How difficult to receive criticism? The receiving isn't the issue, it's the coping afterward. This is less an issue as I age, but I have a constant concern that I'm doing things too differently, that this is why I don't have more readers, and how can I ever adapt without sacrificing my vision. Criticism amps that feeling up, it's partly why I gave up doing illustrations. But then I experience the same thing in most (social) situations, not just creative ones.
