Plot Twists - A Few Quick Tips
First things first--plot twists have to be planned if you really want to pull them off. It’s hard to add a good or even passible plot twist after you’ve already started planning and writing your story.

The ergonomics of crafting: 7 tips to avoid pain
Artisan Crafts Week
A few months ago our dear Brookette (https://www.deviantart.com/brookette) made a very interesting journal sharing her experience with arthritic pain, and the changes she made to her crocheting tools. Pain and arthritis can be so intense that they can actually stop you from crafting (the nightmare :stare:). I want to invite you to start taking care of your hands and your body now, before you get irreparable damage. Don't wait until you start feeling pain!! By that time the damage is done and all you can do is try to manage the pain. I wrote a few tips to help you, and I urge you to implement them as soon as possible.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Miaushka. It comes from “meow”, which means something like “that-little-one-who-meows” :) You might have seen my handmade toys or even possibly seen my tier 11 druid cosplay, or maybe you just happened to stumble upon me. I am doing different World of Warcraft-themed handmade crafts: from complicated and laborious cosplay to various toys and mini-sculptures. Now that you know more about my artistic background on DeviantArt, I want to tell you how one of my favorite toys, a tauren-druid wearing the Ulduar tier 8 set, was done step-by-step.
