One face looks toward the past and the other toward the future. This means I can look at my past goals and decide which I want to keep. It also means I can find new goals. <br />
<br />
Considering I only have a tablet and smartphone, I will do most of my research online. That&#39;s alright. This year I want to get back to writing science fiction and fantasy poems. I also want to make blog entries and review.<br />
<br />
Please write a story about a creature with two faces. One face looks forward and one backward. How does the creature feel? How does it survive?<br />
<br />
Do you have any questions? Do you have any suggestions?<br />
