Mermaids may be THE WORST, but Alex Willan is THE BEST -- especially at author events.

Love this handy flowchart @sparklemaker. Now I want to flowchart all my decisions. 😂

basically I weigh the odds that I could maybe do it, my desire, and potential negative consequences. I made a flow chart about it! turns out flow charts are kind of hard to make!
A flowchart to determine if you're qualified to do something (I am not sure how to effectively write alt text for a flowchart. if you are 90% sure you can do something, or if you are 40-90% sure you can AND want to do it, or if you are 1-40% sure AND nothing serious happens if you fail AND you want to do it, then you are qualified.)
