Thanks for the comments.
These tips are just for the take-off. You must fly to the land of 'Imagination' if you wish to write good stories.

And to the land of 'lots of free time' I finished the first draft in December got the mod comments back in Jan/Feb and now I need to find time to fix those comments.

Half your luck then that I'm fixing them for you jimbob! (see my new PM to you :p)

But I came here to give this little tip for budding writers...

Don't be so KEEN to announce the next great Sleuth SM on the Boards lol.

Anikka and I were just discussing that those who announce often don't deliver, and those that don't announce, often produce, quietly and modestly, the goods!

I honestly believe in the case of writing SMs, when there's no body of work to fall back on, that the best PR is post-production, and certainly not by the author him/herself.

Ever hear of an anti-climax?
