Limyaael's Rant No.3: Female Protagonists Who Do Not Suck - Curiosity Quills Press Yes.
Very entertaining and thought-provoking. I don't agree with everything, and I don't think I've come across as many dismal books as she has, but...
Haha! Loved the bit particularly about the work space. I painted my office in calming blue tones and set it up to 'fuel my muse' - I never, ever...
