As a writer, what ONE tip has been the most helpful for you? Don't edit during your first draft. I can tell you it has saved many of my ideas from ending up as a bunch of crumpled pieces of paper in the bin. =) 1) When you write, is there one thing that you always (mostly) remain conscious about, during any stage of writing? I don't think I understand that one, sorry. 2) Do you find humour coming to naturally when you write? Oh heavens, yes! It's annoying, actually, as I can't seem to turn the humour off even through the toughest scenes. It's an Austenfan thing. ;) 3) Have you ever searched for writing articles? If so, where and which ONE has been the most helpful? No, but I'm reading a couple of books on the writing process itself. One is an ARC that's not being sold yet, another is rather old but funny, and yet another is coming my way any day now. 4) What was your famous beginners mistake? Well, I'm still an amateur, so I guess all my mistakes are beginner's mistakes? Still, something I *think* I have left behind by now is an excess of description. I would go all Bulwer-Lytton on weather descriptions, and stuff. 5) What/whose work do you read for inspiration? Jane Austen when I need to remember that "less is more". Edith Wharton when I think I'm being too cheerful for my own good. Laurie Halse Anderson when I feel my characters are turning flaky on me. Any favorite book of mine when I *just* can't write and need to clear my head. You're welcome, darling! Thank *you* for the cool questions. +blows kisses+

I have several:
Sprinkle a bit of salt in the frying pan before adding meat. It will cut down on the amount of grease splattering.
Dipping bacon in cold water before cooking will cut down on it's curling up.
A lettuce leaf dropped onto the top of a pot of homemade soup will absorb the excess grease.
Thaw fish filets in milk. The milk absorbs the "frozen" taste and adds a "fresh caught" taste.

To make egg salad, don't bother chopping the eggs. Put the eggs through a potato ricer. (With the plate with the large holes). I tried it and it works perfectly! Less work and better consistency. It's a miracle!

To pick an egg shelf out of other baking ingredients and the yolk use the rest of the cracked egg to do so.
Actually works too.

My Mom can make dumplings that are like little, floating biscuits. I always got lumps of wet dough stuck to the bottom of the pan.
I finally asked her what I was doing wrong. She said, "You have to sift the flour 5 or 6 times."
That sounded really dumb to me but I tried it anyway. Viola! Little Floating Biscuits.
