These may just be the UGLIEST shoes I’ve ever worn.
But, in that kind of Buster Brown, so-ugly-they’re-cute kind of way. But leaning heavily toward the ugly, here. Comfy, but ugly.
Never mind. They’re good shoes for pacing while my brain works. I’m sitting at my table, cooking up a little giftie to give away with my copies of MARE’S WAR. I got my TATTOOS from SILKSINGER by the fabulously talented Laini Taylor, and it gave me an idea to do a little nifty thing of my own. Of course, historical fiction isn’t fantasy, so no on the fairy tattoos. But… I am trying to design my own bookplate. Not nearly as cool as tattoos, no. But close…? Maybe?
I may have the chance to go to Bulgaria this summer! It’s for Tech Boy’s job, so I’ll just be tagging along, but I’ve already gotten to go to Estonia for that reason, and so, I’m looking forward once again to being the only African American person for thousands of miles. Trust me, sometimes that’s very entertaining. (And other times, it’s just weird.) Tune in for pictures of the bookplates in progress…
