Zine Fests Anyone?

Final Touches
I’m almost done writing my book. I think. I estimated to have something like 200 pages, but made it to barely 160. It’s just as well. And although I almost finished writing the bulk of it, there are still a … Continue reading

Hand-Heart Coordination
Last night I went to art night. Yes, art night. With my awkward left hand and my gimpy right one. It was a night that we wanted to have for my friend’s birthday, but following my injury, the theme of … Continue reading
