Edit your stuff - A tip from Ty Pennington. An excerpt from an interview with Studios Editor, Cate Prato:
"Edit your stuff! If you have seen it done before, get rid of it. I have so many magazines and books that for me it makes sense to go through them and snap a pic of the things I like in them, download those into a file, and then donate the actual mag to a library or send it to be recycled. Stacks and stacks of stuff don’t make you more creative."
I first analyzed the sentence. Stacks and stacks don't
but should it be stuff doesn't? Can a prepositional phrase be the subject that the verb tense must follow?
I've been a long time out of school and really need a subject-verb lesson here. Would someone in the know educate me here!
Obviously, my mind is as cluttered as my studio! No wonder I'm not being very creative these days. I did work on this picture to make it more inviting.....Go see the BEFORE & AFTER in Reflections Unfurling!
Hallalulah.....it's Friday!

I'm no English major, but I'm pretty sure you are right - it should be "...stuff doesn't..."
