Letting yourself get swept away is one thing,
believing what you write after you are done, is another.
Some of us have had the displeasure of running into people,
who tend to believe what they or others write as real.

 WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW

A good author will stick to what they know, hell even bluff sometimes.
When in doubt, ask.  (tour date, album sales.. ect)

 CHOOSE YOUR INSPIRATION

Songs-  can provide many angles to a story.

Prose-  Pieces of text - whether it be from a movie or TV show, or perhaps from
something completely unrelated - can serve to get those creative juices fflowing.

Photos-Nothing can help kick start a story than some steamy picture
of your favorite leppard. TRUST ME I KNOW...

Challenges-  Get brave, ask a friend or a member of the list to issue you a challenge,
it may turn out to be your best work to date.
Hell, drop me a line, I love to issue challenges.

 BEFORE POSTING YOUR STORY

If you are not sure how good your story is, ask someone to read it over.
They are calledBETA READERS, and they can be angels in those unsure times.
If you are unsure of who to ask, email me and I will help or point
you into the right direction.

 ARCHIVING IT

Due to the fact that I have a very busy work scedule and a family outside of this,
I can no longer collect every story that is written.
If you have time to spare and wish to
lend me a hand and have MICROSOFT WORD, please contact me.
I will grant you GOD status for the help. :)

1. SENDING YOUR WORK-  I only accept attachments via email.  Once again
WORD only please. 

2. SPELLCHECK- Please run that handy spellcheck before hand, save me time
and save you the risk of people emailing you telling you how many
words you mis-spelled. Trust me there are those that will....

3. NO FORMATTING - Don't bother adding any funky colors or tables or whatever
to the document, as it all gets reformatted to fit in with the 'look' of the site.
It just means more work for me if I have to remove it.

4. WHICH LEP- Please let me know which lep this story is about.
It helps me place the story on the correct page.

5. HAVE FUN! -*Enjoy* your writing. As long as you enjoyed what
you wrote and are happy with it, IT WILL BE A GOOD STORY!!
Believe in yourself and others will believe in you too.
Don't stress too much over it. You write because you love it - so enjoy. ;-)
