Ink & Wine Bottles

Fine. I’ll admit it. I’ve been lazy.  I probably wouldn’t go so far to say ‘uninspired’, but between learning about verbs (I still do not understand, nor care), writing essays on adjectives, tearing Amy Winehouse’s songs to shreds for a group assignment, and being sick- my creative streak has been put on the backburner.
