  1. One rule I follow is to never start a story with the word “The”, and I’ve extended to try to be a solid choice too, either a sound, or a more concrete, tangible thing.  [And this rule came from a teacher of mine, who pushed us to not start a sentence with the word “the”… something I normally manage (though, on occasion, a “the” will slip to the start of a sentence)]

    I have changed my pen name to PlagueRat on the archives. So if you saw my story posted there under this new name, don’t worry, it hasn’t been stolen. 

    Careful, I might have to avoid you like the plague!  :)    

    Well, good luck, hope the change turns out like you want it to be.  

    BTW, you might want to list the old pen name for a little while on your profile page, just to alleviate some of the confusion that may result.

    I’ve lost more ideas when away from my computer and I don’t write it down. Many good ones do not survive the maelstrom of my attention. Scraps of paper get lost. I don’t have to start writing it right away, I can start on an idea from my idea files much later.

    I keep a notebook (not spiral, but bound) nearby as much as possible just so I can quickly jot ideas down, in as much detail as I can, which gives a sporting chance at recovering the idea later.

    Having a broken spirit kills that inspiration flat dead...  Trust me, I got a lot of Inspiration hidden in the basement...  And for me, that happens a lot... 

    Stress kills...  And when nothing's gone right (Just like right now, laptop's fried itself (I hate this damned city))...  And bad times...  And that feeling that, while I know people are reading, it doesn't feel like it...

    Sometimes the stress makes my characters miserable too… just saying.
