Make time for day-dreaming. Fifteen minutes of doing nothing, except thinking about a particular scene, can help you visualise better.

I’m delighted to be able to announce, for the second time, a short story writing challenge: A Room with a View.

A tip for all Denizens. I expect some of the WordPress/BBPress/BuddyPress experts amongst you already know this. If a comment with “replies” is deleted, then all the “replies” go too.
