    Physical Tics

    Hmm. Interesting question! When thinking about it, I couldn't immediately think of anything I do physically when trying to write, or get myself to think, etc. But then I realized that I split my split ends of my hair XD

    Writing Discipline

    I try to write as much as I can. However often times I am uninspired to write on certain days, so I up my caffeine intake, and bam, that generally gets the job done for a little while. At least then I can get something written. I used to have more issues with this, but over the past month I've...

    Fleshing out in Showcase

    Ooooh! I was thinking it was a different website. I could have sworn someone linked me, a while back, a link to a different website that was named something like "showcase". I suppose that is where my confusion came from. Thanks though for the clarification! ^^

    Fleshing out in Showcase

    I've considered doing this--mainly because I really want to write more about my story universe without giving anything away about the intricate details of the story itself. There are many things I've planned, and created that date way back in history, that I could easily turn into a short story...

    Using repeat words close together

    Those are some good suggestions. :) I forgot about using different "descriptions" in place of names.

    How old are you?

    I'm 20, but I look younger. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I get handed kids menus at restaurants a startling number of times... :/ My face may say "Young" but my body sure doesn't.

    Preparation Before Writing

    Um, my main story I've spent 7 years off and on, developing the story, background, characters, world, etc. ^^ Might be a bit overkill. I suppose it might be because I've only become satisfied with the development of the story within the past year or two, to seriously sit down and start working...

    Best Cure for Writerblockitis?

    I listen to the 16 different versions of Scarborough Fair I have through my amazing headphones(Helps almost every time!)...And I drink Crystal Light strawberry "Energy"(It has caffeine in it) flavored water. :)

    Using repeat words close together

    With dialogue I don't find it to be a problem when using "He/she", but when you're writing the meat of your story (as I call it!) it is best to avoid overusing certain terms. A *lot* of the time if you're overusing words like "just", you'll find that if you omit them it still gets the same...

    The list of what we shouldn't do

    That provided a wonderful time of entertainment... Thanks for that! Has anyone else noticed that her book is no longer available for sale? I was really looking forward to reading the reviews. Unfortunately the link with the Author's responses to the link are now deleted as well... however to...

    Technology - What do you use?

    I use a laptop. And for a program I use PageFour for allll my writing, including just journal writing, and storing important information. It's extremely handy for being extremely organized. I can organize different information, or parts of my story very easily, in a way that I want, and it's the...

    Terragen

    Wow! Quite an impressive bit of software. What a wonderful find. :) I'm about to give this a go now. The images look really impressive.

    Creating Fantasy Creatures

    This. Exactly this. I will admit while I thoroughly enjoy creating my creatures, it can be a bit of a pain to introduce them with the clarity I would like my reader to see them with. Pictures describe easier than words, unfortunately I'm not writing a picture book. :) That isn't to say that it...

    Travelling

    What you might try to do is write like a quick short story that uses far distance travel like you would in your more serious works, but have two different version. Have one that is more simple that you think still gets the point accross, and then try writing a more drawn out version. Then post...

    Describing character's appearances

    I try to avoid describing my main characters--simply because I want the reader to define the character. Make it theirs, make it more real in their mind, without forcing it to be real. However when it comes to other characters I do spent a few brief sentences depicting serious things of note that...
