SO. Apparently it’s JULY. (Hooowwww???) Today I have a couple of exciting fairy tale-related news to share. Buuut also if the title didn’t give it away… I’m going on a hiatus for this month.

As in the writers conference I’m going to later this month (*screeches*). And, frankly, life has been craaaaazy lately.
