Oh goodness, I am falling behind with Inktober. 🙁 Today was a holiday here in Japan (apparently the new emperor was getting crowned – not that I care) and I thought I would catch up a little, except that my first attempt at today’s prompt, Treasure, was a total disaster. […]
Told you I was not going to be able to keep the pace for the whole month. So, not only I’m a few days late, because – you know – life happens, but also, I’m quite uninspired by the prompts this week of Inktober. Day 22 is Expensive, and […]
