Haha, love these, especially to give it a haircut. There's nothing like adding layers, trimming excess, bringing in colorful characters and conditioning the plot. Fun post, Happy Friday to you :)

I beg to differ! I wrote my highest word count unshowered. Can you smell that? That's the smell of productivity.

Also, we must moisturise - very important to keep it supple and feeling good. ;-)

Lovely post my dear! Happy Friday, and have a lovely weekend! x

Never thought of it quite like that. But it seems like I might mess up my computer if I take it in the shower with me.
