    Say something nice about your story

    Lobster, Paper, Scissors. It's not the worst thing I've written and it keeps me sober. Give it a try if you are suffering from insomnia. There's only six chapters, but it will definitely help you fall asleep.

    What to do when too many story ideas

    Write them down and see which ones age well. Whenever you feel like writing, select one of those fine wines and start pouring. In old age your creativity may not flow as freely, and you might be grateful for even the cheaper wines in your notes.

    My writing process which allows me to churn out a chapter a day. Share yours!

    Writing I need to destroy everything.

    Try reading historical novels. Sweet stuff mate. Nautical historical novels are great for perspective. If you think things are bad now, those will cheer you right up. As for character backgrounds, ease up on the planning mate. If it doesn't flow, perhaps you need two prequels... or fifteen...

    What does this mean to you?

    Unnecessary and risky. I've seen too many "colleagues" catch unhealthy emotional attachments. Want a family? Adopt a kid. Too many lost souls in this world already. I believe that environment matters far more than genes do.
