So I just finished book 5 of A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin.

My heart plummeted into my stomach and my first thought was: "Why should I write anything if people won't like it?" Thankfully my little pity party didn't last long. Looking… Continue reading Monday Motivation: Get Back Up
