phoning it in – The Bloggess

Writer’s block

I’m having a bit of writer’s block so I’m phoning it in with pictures of Hunter S. Thomcat (and friends). You’re welcome, America.

And that’s why I can’t get any work done. That and the fact that Doctor Who is on.

A picture of my (previously abandoned) office immediately after I start blogging: And that’s why I’m not working for the rest of the week.

And becauseContinue reading “And that’s why I can’t get any work done. That and the fact that Doctor Who is on.”
