Wow. I think that's the fewest books I've read in a single month, ever. I shall have to reverse this trend!
...
In other news, I'm having very little luck on my Remixredux assignment this year. Writing is just not happening for me lately -- at the moment, I'm inclined to blame the cold that's been kicking my ass for the past several days, but even before that, I just haven't been able to string more than a hundred words or so together before my brain goes on strike.
It will pass -- I've been here before, and it always passes -- but it's a very frustrating place to be in, because I have all these stories whirling around in my head and I can't get them out in any coherent fashion.
