Foster's guide on how to crank-out words like a choo-choo train of thought:
1. Re-state
everything your character(s) saw from their unique perspective(s)
a. This helps other players get a feel for where your character is, and how much you understand is going-on OOCly (out-of-character = how you in real life understand the situation)
b. This also gives the other players a feel for your character's mood, tone of speech, and other finer-details that may be important to other people.
c. Also, if you're away for a ridiculously long time, it tends to also explain "where the hell have you been?!" in the story
2. Use multiple paragraphs to organize the post so people know when you're changing the perspective of the story/narration.
3. Format the general flow of actions to "things that have happened, and how I feel about it", "what am I doing about those things right now", with "what I expect to happen/accomplish, and how I would deal with it", the last part is nice if you end-up away from the interwebz and people have to guess/assume what your character would do.
4. State the name of your character and the names of characters you are interacting with, often.

I'm tempted to copy-paste this into my bio, good idea?
