A strong character can carry a weak plot; but a strong plot can’t carry weak characters

On top of commissions, here’s a big list of things I want to do this summer in bingo format.  A big mix of fun, work, and relaxation, and a fun way to keep track of it all!  

YES! Steve knows how to do it right. There is so much to love about this. I think I’m gonna make one, too. Gonna be super-productive this summer before I go back to school.

Adorable! I need to start making my to-do lists look more like this!
