Here are a few things I have learned from the past few years of doing DIY.
1. The man on YouTube does this for a living. It will not be that easy.
2. That square room where you need to do the skirting is not square at all. Your whole life is a lie.
3. It is my tool’s fault.

@NatashaCL7 I'll go for neither, if that's an option.

@AletheaRLyons Tubular Bells, by Mike Oldfield, the soundtrack to the Exorcist. Just stop listening after about a third of the way through. It gets jazzy and weird and not scary at all.

@KRSWriting Thank God you asked, I have been here for months and have no idea.🤣

You can back-up your writing at only two times - before it is accidentally deleted, or after. There is no scenario where the WIP you have poured you heart into isn't accidentally deleted at some point, take it from me.

@magicka66 I don't bother with magazines that don't allow for them. It's just not realistic to expect writers to submit to one place and wait for a reply.

@KLandersonland You are the Achilles to my Hector.

My new year's resolution is to devote my time to causes that truly matter.

So, I will no longer stand by while people tell me that chocolate and mint is an acceptable flavour combination. It is a travesty and I am convinced that the silent majority is with me.

@_IanPool_ I can tell you have thought about this deeply, Ian. I like that a lot.

@ItsEsmeJones Going to have to side with your brain on this one. The world needs to read it.

[Dan Richardson @Dan_Writes_]

@kctorawrites Luckily - or perhaps unluckily - I don't need to wait for something amazing.

[Dan Richardson @Dan_Writes_]

@enoch_olalere15 Yes. Other people finding it funny is the harder part.

@klhicks912 Twitter. It's not going well.

I have really enjoyed setting some new year's resolutions. Looking forward to forgetting about them in 3 days time, then not thinking about it for 360 days.

@EmWoodhouse8 Congrats!

@moonglowsoul I bet if we found out how little other people think of our most embarrassing moments, we would probably worry about them a lot less...

@PSLiterary Despite all common sense, I still keep writing.

@MalindaDetweil1 The Hobbit. Still go back to it occasionally!

@kareneIizabeth About 50, but I am making a desperate and futile attempt to reduce that this year.

@SpeakInStories Thanks! We are all in the same place, I feel
