since last month vs during the last month vs during the last

"She hasn't written much since last month."

OR

"She hasn't written much during the last month."

OR

"She hasn't written much during last month."

I guess they would all be acceptable?

The first two are fine. the third isn't.

The first two are acceptable but they do not mean the same thing.
