Everyone has done this survey in Day to Day

What country do you call home? Do you like it? Any plans to defect? If you could live anywhere in the world and didn’t have the usual constraints (e.g. family, work), where would you choose?

I live in UK, in SW England, and that is my home. It’s not the most exciting town, but I have family to the East and West, so I have second homes across the south. I have lived for many years in Asia and who knows, I may return to my wife’s birth place. Can’t at the moment due to school commitments. I loved living in Taiwan for 5 years.

What brought you to Prosebox? How did you hear about the site? How long have you been a member?

I am an OD veteran. I was there almost from the beginning. I just climbed aboard the lifeboat.

Do you use the site for anything other than keeping a journal/diary? What do you find yourself writing about the most?

Not really. I have done one recent entry which was an account of my ukulele self-build project. I write a lot about the news and in particular the bizarre stories interest me.

What features do you enjoy and use the most on the site?

I like that I can reply to comments.

If you could get any Prosebox feature you wanted for Christmas, what would it be?

It infuriates me that when I click the bookmarks link it defaults to display only the unread ones. I want to see All.

Do you have a favorite entry you’ve posted here? If you could point to anything you’ve written as being your purest essence, what would it be?

I like the Naked Bike Ride ones.

Are you regularly expanding your Bookmarks/Friends list, or it is fairly fixed and you’re already content and established with your current readers? Do you regularly browse the front page for new people to read?

My lists do change, but not often, they are fairly steady.

What advice would you give to someone new to the site who is trying to gain friends and readers?

Don’t write for anyone else. Don’t censor yourself.
