Writer's should be their own harshest critic.

megamatt @megamatt (14289) • United States 13 Jun 11

I have heard this statement before and really, a lot of the best writers out there, are going to find flaws in what they are doing, even if everyone is praising it to the high heavens. Granted, nothing is perfect and we always...

Allieis This is the same for all creative people - Artists, furniture makers, potters, and artists are all their own worst critic. They see things from their own point of view, they know at which point they struggled and in the end settled, knowing that it could have...

CraftyCorner @CraftyCorner (5600) • United States 13 Jun 11

The "Lost It" Files There are parents paying five Euros an hour for children as young as three to "pole dance" at a place called The Little Spinners Studio. Pole dancing is what strippers do: Adult women grind themselves up...

Allieis This is beyond belief, What ever are these parents thinking of? I cannot understand the mentality of some people. Ok so these three year olds do not know what it is they are actually doing, but they soon will. The parents of these children will not be...

Imperfect family . . .

squarepants @squarepants (28) • Philippines 12 Jun 11

I have been dreaming to have a perfect family. It is my dream just now. But the sad thing is, you can not choose. Maybe it is a way of saying that you could live with difference because it is life. We can choose the things that we...

Allieis Perfection is in the eye of the beholder. Whilst we may not think things are perfect, someone looking in might think otherwise. Being there for each other in times of need is a life that many dream of. If you are looking for peace of mind and perfection,...

Your Highness Emperor Albert Whisker @CaptAlbertWhisker (32714) • Calgary, Alberta 11 Jun 11

my car is the ugliest car you will ever see, It needed some paint job so bad and the foam on its back seat is exposed but it's still running fast, by far I have no problems with its engine. My favorite part though is its CD player...

abmacasinag @abmacasinag (518) • Philippines 11 Jun 11

I have tons of shoes and bags that I need organized. I've already removed the items I don't use anymore and add to them to the items for sale in my yard sale, and then I went and replaced them with new ones, so basically I'm still...

Allieis I think everyone has this problem, we all have bags and shoes that we 'need' but don't want to keep tripping over them, or have them cluttering the place up. What I have done, is purchase a couple of plain wooden chests (you can get these at a hardware...

Allieis This is an absolute shocking display of behaviour from Adler. He has in effect committed fraud. My advice, for what it's worth, is next time you put on a show, have contracts drawn up. This way, if they should back out you will have some legal back up.

Allieis It's all down to budgeting and forward planning. Also, having the right mindset. Instead of saying to yourself 'OMG I have to find 900 next month, How am I can manage? Will I manage?" Break it up into small pieces, break the amount down. On a daily basis...
