By utilizing these tools and methods, you can save time and effort in finding a reliable cleaner who will meet your specific needs. Those stories of authors who found every sentence excruciating but their pain and toil created something magnificent-those didn’t happen. The problem was I didn’t understand financial planners: I thought they were like doctors, i.e. experts with your best interest at heart. Each day, I was happy to finish writing, and I didn’t think about it again until I had to the next day. Each day, about nine liters of fluid enter the small intestine. In a cup or small bowl, moisten a few tablespoons of baking soda or salt with a squirt of some lemon juice. You can also use vinegar or baking soda directly into the toilet bowl and leave it for half an hour before scrubbing it with a toilet cleaning brush. Simply sprinkle some baking soda all over a wet shower curtain liner or on the stains and scrub with a coarse scrub brush or sponge. Scrub the grates gently.

Using your sponge, scrub your headlights. I am not a fan of “smart” devices; they try to bring some upper class luxury to the middle class using technology. Next, rub in the liquid sandpaper using another clean, lint-free cloth. This liquid cleanser is scientifically developed to clean and condition brushes of all types. For liquid spills, immediately blot away the moisture with paper towels or a white cloth. Correspondence that said no. But I knew every great writer got rejected a bunch of times, so therefore each of mine was a step along the path to eventual success. Since then, I’ve written four or five novels that will never be published, but none has been a bigger waste of time than that one, which was bad in every way, and I knew it at the time, while I was working on it. I’ve been a full-time writer for years, so I know a few things about working from home.

It’s good advice if you’re the kind of writer who gets stuck agonizing over sentences and scenes until they’re perfect. You must know in your soul that it’s going to be great when you’re done. Rather than working in drafty brick and steel structures, Americans were now going to work in well-insulated office buildings. This is dangerous, because the Mistress holds ambitions to conquer the Twenty-Nine Realms, and sooner or later, the Breaker isn’t going to stand for it. It might be a red flag that your story isn’t working in some fundamental way-in which case you need to strip it down to the part you like best and start over-but you might also simply be operating under the mistaken belief that your first draft has to be excellent. I mean this in the sense that I don’t think it’s possible to write a good book you don’t like. For example, I don’t blog as much any more, and part of the reason why is that I wonder whether someone will get my email in their inbox and be like, ughhh, why is Max bothering me about that. But it has a wild abandon that works because it doesn’t much care about its missteps.

But that’s okay, because now you can take care of all the other stuff that got overlooked when you were trying to invent an entire populated world with a compelling narrative through-line in your head. If that’s you, you can benefit by postponing a lot of that self-critique until you have a first draft. Because otherwise you won’t have one. Since I had to redo my full laptop setup from scratch, one thing I had to redo was my ssh configuration. Because one Tvidler can last a lifetime, it does not contribute to plastic waste. Reaching the end of a first draft and re-reading it for the first time is like waking up in bed with a stranger who seemed dazzling and irresistable last night, when you were drunk, but now it’s daylight and oh my God what were you thinking. At first, a recently viral TikTok hack looks like a super-smart workaround to cleaning your toilet bowl: Cut a hole in the top of a bottle of all-purpose cleaner, put it in the toilet tank, and end up with a self-cleaning toilet every time you flush. For smoke-sized particles, a MERV 12 filter may function as well as a MERV 14 filter at half its rated air velocity (for smoke particles), and a MERV 14 may function like a MERV 12 at double its rated velocity.
