I'm not a real person.

I'm a bird.


On the internet, nobody knows you're a bird.


Unless you tell them.


Squawk!!!

[Fawnn]

I'm a real person here, as are others

Considering that I'm supposed to be a writer, I didn't state that very well. LOL (You ever read what Anne Lamott calls "first drafts" in her book Bird by Bird? Unfortunately, most posts here qualify as how she describes first drafts. Or, at least mine do.)

What I meant was that despite the risks today in revealing one's true identity online, I still do so. yada yada yada ;)

As for anyone I meet here, I'm going to continue to assume I'm talking to a "real" and sincere person; barring that, it's probably better to be chatting with a bot than with a troll.
