Here's a tip worth your while.

KNOW YOUR CHARACTER. I cannot stress this enough. In any given situation, a good writer will step back and instead of asking, "What do I want my character to do next?", ask yourself, "What would this character do in this situation?"

Also, never assume you know everything about your character. Because there should always be room to grow on.

As always,

POKE

Please don't triple post. If you need to, edit your last post with the extra information you wanted to add in. Posting in succession is not the right sort of internet etiquette.

Also, where are the actual tips? Turning off the telly isn't a tip, per se, it's just getting rid of a distraction.

Maybe "Try to write where you can't be distracted" would be considered one, so you might want to think about that.
