Happy December, everybody. It’s miserably cold here and snowed for approximately five seconds before it got bored, which, well, boo, I guess. December is here, and so Nano is over. I had 4,000 words to write yesterday, but they didn’t
November ArtSnacks
Ahahaha super late in the month, but it’s been one of those months. Next month’s box ships tomorrow, I think. I actually won a contest in October so I’m getting it for free, woot. Here’s my pic for this month–just
Used Bookstore Finds: Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie
