We have a jar that we save change in. Id like to save it up for a great vacation or even something as small as a date night. My question is when you have a jar of change how do you turn that into something you can use? Do you take...

yorkshirewriter I generally save it for a raint day so to speak. I find it helps for times when I'm low on cash and in need of some money to pay or bill or buy something I need. I always put the more valuable coins in the middle of the jar mixed in with the lesser valued...

yorkshirewriter I tend to write articles and poetry as well as working on an idea for a novel. I had got out of the habit of writing, but thanks to Mylot I have the writing bug again and plan to start writing some more articles very soon.

Do you think "straight "men should read romance novels

ronnyb @ronnyb (6113) • Jamaica 17 Jan 10

I remember there was a time when I was hooked on romance novels and even borrowed some from my sister.I used to love reading them inspite of the fact that they were often predictable and the guy would eventually get the girl...

yorkshirewriter I think straight men, gay men or bi men should read whatever they want to read. I wouldn't personally read a romance novel as it is not a genre I am interested in reading about. With so many other available genres I feel confident that I will never have to...

Do you keep a dream journal?

allyoftherain @allyoftherain (7208) • United States 18 Jan 10

If I have an unusual or interesting dream, I like to write it down. I'm not keeping any one specific dream journal right now, but I will write my dream and the date of the dream in one of my notebooks. I like reading back over...

4 responses

yorkshirewriter I have considered keeping one in the past, but I tend to have very weird and vivid dreams often. I think it is probably best not to write such dreams down for fear of the journal falling into the wrong hands. :D

allyoftherain @allyoftherain (7208) • United States 18 Jan 10

yorkshirewriter It can be important for a writer to read widely, but much depends on the quality of the writer and the material they are writing/aim to write. Much of the reading that is often conducted is to study style, get ideas for writing, researching etc. I agree with...

loving someone? yes or no, why?

anamarialigaya @anamarialigaya (8) • Philippines 18 Jan 10

what would be harder for you, to tell someone you love them or that you don not love them back?

5 responses

yorkshirewriter I think telling them that I don't love them back would be pretty difficult. Saying you love someone feels hard the first time you say it, for fear that the other person may not feel the same. Once it is said and out there it is much easier - as long as the...

yorkshirewriter I do believe in Astrology and think it can tell a person many things about their personality traits, strengths and weaknesses. The problem with horoscopes is that they are basically an interpretation of things and the description given for a daily, weekly,...

Preference! Male Boss or Female Boss? What's Your Choice??

artistry @artistry (4152) • United States 17 Jan 10

If you have worked for both male and female bosses, which one did you like working for more? Why? If you have not worked for both, which one do you think would be a more effective boss? Why? Does it make a difference, isn't a boss...

9 responses

yorkshirewriter I don't mind either way really. Having worked for both male and female bosses I can't really say there was much difference. I tend to get on better with a female boss but that may be due to me being a flirt and a bit of a joker so I could be a bit more cheeky...

How often do you bathe?

ShadowofHope2010 @ShadowofHope2010 (173) • United States 17 Jan 10

So everyone has different bathing patterns. I take a complete shower and wash my hair every night before bed. But I know some people shower in the morning, and some wash their hair every other day. And some wash it whenever their...

5 responses

yorkshirewriter I have not taken a shower in months, but only because I don't have a shower. I tend to have a bath every day but wash my hair less frequently. I use Dr Bonners soap and shampoo as they are residue free and much better for the hair and skin.

bgangelrs @bgangelrs (49) • Bulgaria 17 Jan 10

Do you prefer a male or female author?

mipen2006 @mipen2006 (5528) • Australia 16 Jan 10

When you are browsing for a new novel to read, does the gender of the author influence you in any way? Personally, I don’t have a preference. If the genre is what I like, and the synopsis appeals then that’s all that interests...

yorkshirewriter Generally speaking I don't care about the gender of the author. Despite that I concede that a female author is more likely to be better equipped and more accurate when writing about a female character than a man would be. The same is often the case when a male...

Do you prefer long poems or short poems?

shelly6354 @shelly6354 (4) • United States 16 Jan 10

I write poetry in my spare time and many people tell me that they like my shorter poems and when I ask about the long poems they say they havent read them. So I want to learn from you guys do you like long or short poems?

4 responses •

yorkshirewriter I would say shorter poem, though not necessarily short poems are my favourite. Long poetic works can drag on somewhat and I tend to lose interest if I feel I am never getting nearer the end. In terms of the poetry I write, the length of the piece would depend...
