Happy Thursday, Inkthusiasts!

I know that Inktober list launch got people all kinds of distracted, so for any of you still hanging in there for Inktober52, we send you a great big high-five and say “keep going, you can do it!”

This week, thanks to the petri dish that is public school, we’re all wading through the symptoms of a mild headcold. Besides the extra tissues and the need for hot honey tea, it’s not too bad except for the dizzyness. There have been a few hang-on-to-the walls moments for most of us and I had to go down the stairs on my bum at one point so I didn’t cartwheel down from the second floor. If you see any of us out and about (you should definitely send us home if that happens,) please ignore the stumbly and WONKY gait.

For this week, show us your best crooked, unsteady, or just not-quite-right version of WONKY. We can’t wait to see!

Off to take a nap-

Alison
