well TSO, (can I call you TSO, TSO? i like acronyms. sorry )

Anyway. I like the idea, but through all the essays we should stress the fact that, when it comes to crafting a story, nothing is set in stone. (at least, not in my experiences) Some things work in one situation, but not another. So...

I suppose i could write one or two essays about some of these subjects. we need a few more "how to" threads around here imho.
