Guide talk:How To Write Something Epic

Feedback and Supplement
I think yours is a good straight-to-the-face beginners guide of the very basics in telling a story decently. What I'd like to add here is a hint and an example.

Hint: Avoid Adverbs. It's been basically said in "show, don't tell", but here's a micro how-to. A writer should always make a second draft before he seriously considers publishing anything, and one major rule is to brutally strike out all the unnecessary adverbs. (For better insights, among others, see Steven Kings "On Writing")

Example: Blood Bowl - it's got its name because of the wounds. The game is awesome and challanging because of the wounds.
