I find that the most useful thing for writing is to think in terms of scenes like in a movie. You figure out a particular situation, figure out what actions are going to be taken, and once you've got a overlapping list of what actions drive the story from start to end, then you can flesh it out with spoken words. Of course sometimes figuring out one action leads to another, and when you've got that happening in your head, that's when you know you're cooking with gas!

They often give out tips and hints as to what to do and what to avoid when writing, should you be sharp enough to glean that info from between the lines of their answers.

But I agree that knowing your audience is a great start. However you should also write for fun. I doubt that any of us are gonna get paid to write about preggos. So if you're gonna write. You might as well write for fun. I guess you should just try to find an audience that you fit into and write for them. Also, writing for comics and writing for prose is like doing art with ink and art with paints. They are completley different mediums of storytelling. If someone is interested in how to script for comic books, or tell stories through a visual medium I reccomend looking at old movies, or reading "Making Comics" by Scott McCloud.

This, in turn, can help fine-tune your presentation. While this is vitally important in non-fictional endeavors and technical writing, even in fiction it can be helpful - there's a world of difference between Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner, and different people have different preferences in their authors. In the end, when it comes to fiction, if you find a style that is comfortable and doesn't cause too many people to gouge their eyes out with sporks, stick with it.

Bad writing, on the other hand, bugs the ever loving hell out of me. So, therefore, do keep up the good work and tutorials and all that whatnot! Bad art I can generally laugh at and move on.

So I didn't write this and I don't play Fable II either. Credit where credit is due someday, I hope.
