User blog comment:Scarly/Writing Tip 1: To Drabble or Not To Drabble, That Is The Question./@comment-4722499-20120702191438/@comment-3027764-20120702193210

I will get to those eventually, just starting with 'baby steps.' These drabbles do work for original stories, I've used them myself. I've written one book, one side along novella to it. Oh, and one or two novellas in college, for course work stuff.

Once you know the basics, the bigger parts won't seem so hard. These tips aren't just for fanfics, they are for original stories too, but I'm using fanfiction for the guide, because the characters are already developed. It'd take me much longer to get the guide up, if I had to think up my own characters each time.
