Keep keeping calm

After the popularity of DON'T ASK about MY THESIS I thought I'd post the other posters I've made, that are on my office wall.

Keep calm and keep writing - The most important message:


Shut up and write - when keep calm and keep writing doesn't work anymore:



If you have "Don't ask about my thesis" on the wall, you may want this one next to it:


Here are "Keep calm and keep writing" and "Don't ask about my thesis" together here as one picture. I have this as my desktop wallpaper at the moment.


All these posters were made by me with Keep Calm app by Barter Book.
