Final thread of 2018

What's your goals for 2019?

What did you accomplish in 2018?

2019 goals: finish writing the book, get a decent publishing deal.
2018 accomplishments: finished second postgrad, started third, tried to make amends with all the people I let down in 2017/18, let the ex know I'm so over him
and turned down three marriage proposals (ex not involved).

Good luck with finishing your book. I tried writing a novel once. But gave up half way because of re-edits. It started to get tedious. So I quit.

Thanks.
I write non-fiction.
Don't completely give up on writing fiction, you might find writing a novella or children's picture book easier and less time consuming to edit.

Hahaha, your stories as intense as ever. How many of them were sending you emailed proposals from Uganda, for the small small price of a family visa.

My ex had the best proposal story I've heard. Her BF of about a year flew her to Rome for 7 days. On the 2nd day he proposed, she said no -- and then she had to stay with this soppy *******s for 5 days. He was crying on the plane back and stuff. Lesson: do it on the penultimate day.

Lol, I shouldn't really be laughing at your ex's rejected romeo.

No proposals by email or from ugandan nationals- two citizens of pakistan plus a norweigan-persian dual national.
Same story one and all- want UK citizenship and know me too well to expect to share my overdraft/credit cards.
I'm not bothering to include the marriage offer sent by pm from JM- TSR's most hilarious troll.

I've got two funnier proposal stories than your ex's one.
One involves a marriage proposal on the london eye; LGBT activist friend proposed to his bf on the way up, got turned down rather bluntly, terrible argument ensued followed by a very tense silence on the way back down.
Everything was filmed, livestreamed and mass shared.
We'd all come thinking it was about celebrating equal marriage but he'd gone and spent a fortune on a videographer, expensive rings, champagne and a private capsule.
A few friends thought it was funny to download the footage to their phones, some idiot put a four minute extract up on youtube.
That footage occasionally resurfaces during house parties and carnage pub crawls.
The unhappy ex couple are still mad at each other; refusing enter the same building or even attend a protest if the other one will be present.

My last relationship ended in rather sordid circumstances, with the ex exposed as a collector of violent hardcore porn, sex workers and stds.
I didn't share his enthusiasm for such a collection, so raced out the door with my bags.
Followed by a bellowed marriage proposal along the lines of "I'll even f****** marry you, let you spend whatever you want on my charge card and never tell you to f****** clean up".
Much to the delight of the apartment next door's cleaning lady, who had let herself in and seemed agreeable to the offer.
So much so that the ex yelled in her face "not you, I am taking to my girlfriend".
19 year old me couldn't resist having the last laugh on the way out, giving the cleaner my keys and congratulations.
As I walked down the escalator, ex was yelling so loud that security came over and asked if I wanted police called.
To this day, I wonder what would have happened if I'd said yes- to calling the police.
Wouldn't have been great for advancing the ex's legal career.
