Music and food. As well as AIM, so I can test ideas off of my friends. But I can't have people around me, like looking over my shoulders and breathing ...

Thanks for the tips, everyone. I actually started writing a short story in the past half hour. :D

Rosey ~ Thanks for the tip. I'm not so into historical fiction, but I guess I could steal some stuff (like the Great Depression; that'd be interesting). I guess the ...

I need help. Seriously. Apparantly, my muse has abandoned me, and I can't think of ANY ideas. Like I had to give up on Pyromaniac because my non-muse led me ...

Character development makes for a great story. Get to know your characters. Give them quirks, give them mannerisms, habits, obsessions. Make them interesting. Make them funny or deep. Make them ...

I need an idea for a book. My current novel is going well, but I'm putting it on hold till I get all the hand-written stuff typed. I started a ...
