Do everything differently from last year.
Say “yes” when you would’ve said “no” and “no” when you would’ve said “yes”. Refuse to take “no” for an answer. Take risks. Be daring and bold. Socialize. Date. Accept invitations.
If it doesn’t work, then next year: Do everything differently from last year.
Mary Steer is a word nerd living west of Toronto, where she works and reworks stories from life and imagination. Her short stories have appeared or are forthcoming in Green’s Magazine, The Halcyon Reader, Quick Brown Fox and CommuterLit. When she’s not writing or editing, she likes to dabble in physics (knitting) and chemistry (baking).
Your advice would take me to a different planet, called the Yes No Moon which would orbit around the I Think So Maybe Sun. Parts of the Definitely Universe. No indecision here, no going back. I think there are fifty words, now. End of story. Happy New Year Mary Steer.
Excellent advice in an entertaining little package!
LOL, the bio is longer than the story. Well done, Mary
Compact, to the point & a great way to begin 2016! Thank you Mary S. – Joan P.
Great story. I’m working on the fine art of “coin tossing” to perfect my yes/no’s. Cheers! Connie
