Hello, my lovely, imaginary readers! Now that I've reached my goal successfully I can hardly believe it's over, but that means that it's time for a new challenge! Keep your eyes open until June, when I'll (hopefully) start a new blog and release a serial novel! The genre hasn't been decided, but it could be anything.
See you in two and a half months!
The Girl in Blue
