Writing a paper? Designing a portfolio? Giving a presentation? Working on your dissertation?

When was the last time you sat down with a pen and paper, and just wrote something? I’m talking about you and your own creativity, no prompt whatsoever. I can guess what you’re thinking.

Holiday-themed books appear to be synonymous with Christmas books.
