The Guide to using found objects as weapons:
Rule 1: If you can lift it, you can hit something with it. No, really, try it out on your enemies. (We are not encouraging you to try anything out on your enemies.)
Rule 2: If it has a point at the end, you can stab someone with it.
Rule 3: If it pierces the skin, rule 2 has been successful; otherwise, run.
Rule 4: If it pierces the skin but does not do more than penetrate, you should consider finding poison; quickly.
Rule 5: If you've decided you do not want to use your skin-penetrating object as a weapon, then pierce it somewhere else and hope for the best. Otherwise, prepare to die.
Rule 6: if your object does not have a pointy end (and yet you still found yourself reading rules two through five) you are most likely annoyed enough to pick up something heavier.
Rule 7: All objects can be used as a blunt weapon.
Rule 8: if you have just attempted to use a feather as a blunt weapon, you have discovered that not all items are equally effective as blunt weapons.
Rule 9: having discovered that you need something more than a feather as a blunt weapon, you should find something bigger, perhaps the weight of a spear.
Rule 10: Having used a spear as a blunt weapon, you have undoubtedly discovered that using the pointy end of it was better, as they now most likely wish to kill you for having hit them with a stick. Furthermore, rule six did not apply to you, and you have since been wasting your time.
Rule 11: Having now realized one should not use an object with a pointy end as a blunt weapon, you have most likely discovered something heavier at your disposal.
Rule 12: This heavy object is good for hitting things. Do it.
Rule 13: If, having overcompensated for the spear, you picked up a too heavy object and dropped it, you have now learned a valuable lesson: Do not try to smash people with statues. Have you tried a nice orb?
Rule 14: Having smashed someone's head with an orb, you have realized that it is rather too small for your purposes, or else perhaps big but likely to slip from your hands. Perhaps you should search for a pointy object instead?
Rule 15: Having not found a pointy object, you should instead look for an object of middling size with somewhat pointy corners, or at least some form of hitting surface; perhaps something flat.
Rule 16: having smashed someone down with this flat object, you have most likely realized that they occasionally get back up again.
Rule 17: Instead of reading this book, have you considered hitting them again?
Rule 18: For legal purposes, the author of this book in no way wants you to hit them the first time, yet alone again.
Rule 19: If you do choose to hit them again, perhaps you should get something a little bit better? Such as a poisoned and pointy object?
Rule 19: If these things are not available, you are not necessarily doomed, despite having most likely irritated your enemy beyond belief by following these instructions.
Rule 19: If you are still following these instructions, you have obviously yet to realize that this book is the perfect size and weight for a blunt object.
Rule 20: The rest of these pages will be blank, in order to create the proper size and weight for use as a blunt object.
Rule 21: We will be charging you extra for this purpose.
Rule 22: But seriously; don't hit anyone.
Rule 23: Blank pages will commence.

How to Start and Stay Writing
I recently solicited my watchers to ask me writing questions that I would then attempt to answer in a writing guide such as this. This article is my first response, and there will be many more to come.
I've been asked to give advice on ways a writer can begin to put words on a page. The bottom line is as simple as this: sit your butt down and write.
Duh, right? It's the only way I know to actually write.
Sure, sitting your butt in a chair is easy, but getting your fingers to move and stay moving is a challenge. Here are three things that have helped me.
1) Have a goal.
Your goal can be as simple as "describe the person in this picture" o

Plan of Attack - How to Slay Writer's Block
This is the simplest, most productive, and most rewarding method for attacking writing problems I know of. I developed this technique for myself, and I can only tell you that it works for me every time I use it. Will it work for you? Only you can tell. I can, however, guarantee that if you don't use it, it won't work.
This method is a general-use version. I have more specific versions for specialty uses that I will try to post later.
First, grab yourself a notebook and a pencil. Now, follow the steps below.
Step 1. Define the problem
Look at where you are stuck. Figure out why. Write it as a question at the top of your paper.

2 Steps to Developing Your Character
Can you help me learn how to describe characters better? I need a little assistance.
This question came to me by a good friend and watcher of mine, and as I began to write him back I realized.
Ya, know...I've never written a non-fiction work before, and I haven't submitted anything today. Maybe while typing this advisor message I can thereby help, not only my friend, but other writers as well.
So after much thought, I think I am prepared to answer my friend's question in more detail.

The title of the book agatha used, mostly. I couldn't help but imagining what might be in it.
(I'd tell them about it, but they don't have an email address. It's not quite fan art, but it wouldn't be here without them. )
...Really, though, don't do any of this stuff, 'kay?
