What It Means to Be “Creative” for 30 Days | October 2016 Creative Sprint

It’s that time of year again! We’ve waited months to find out what happens to our favorite characters. Will they make it through whatever awful trauma the writers put them through back in the spring?

Adventures and Artistic Endeavors: The World of YouTube You’re Probably Missing
This week’s Tuesday video (I really need a fun name for it. I guess I should be uploading on Friday so that it could be “Fun Fridays with Kaitlyn!” since that’s the general vibe I’m going for) hold a special place in my heart.
