One of my favorite writers, Vera Nazarian, is also a publisher. She recently drew my attention to her Classics Imprint, and I drooled all over my keyboard. I read my copy of Gene Stratton Porter’s FRECKLES until it fell apart. Now I can get a new one!
Unfortunately, I just bought some nail product, so I need to take it easy on the old plastic for a few months weeks days, but I did treat myself to something I haven’t read before, Carmen by Prosper Mérimée. In case you didn’t know, it takes place in Cuba. The opera does, anyway. Soon, I shall see if the novel does. Wheeeeee!
So I got all the things! Look!
The green and yellow things are candy. Belicious!
I tried to do a gradient, and I failed. At least when I fail, I fail HARD.
So I covered it with dark green, a pale green stamp, and holographic glitter. Take that! Biff! Pow!
A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Write about a failure that’s covered up.

There are no fails
in painting nails,
just less
success
till you can tell
you’ve done it well.
