The last bit, with Sean instead of Nick - I had to go back to see if it was the same character or not. Maybe mention Sean somewhere earlier, could be he's a waiter or something?
I didn't worry about the length too much, if you have trouble bringing down to 500-ish words, I can give that a shot if you'd like.
If I am writing and know that somebody kind of famous did something illegal and horrible (it's a well known fact with this individual, but they were never charged), can it be put in writing or is that attacking their name (can't remember the word) and could lead to potential trouble?

I've mostly worked on novels, or pieces of novels. With those, it's always easiest to work on the entire project all in one go, so it all has the same style of editing.
Short stories can have different tones, so it's not so urgent. If were doing an anthology in pieces, I'd probably just stick to a style sheet for the project, then do a pass at the end for proofreading and cleanup.
This link looks extremely helpful. I think I might do this for writing my first short story. Well, not first, but first where I am trying to do it.
In which it brings me to the thing I think is actually the thing I need to work on, which is the clock. I've never heard of that idea before and it makes sense, and now I will have to think about it more.
@KitFox true, but its always finished by the time i get home! Besides, I have my ideas as scrawled notes on a page but I never seem to get further than that
Maybe I'm just too picky about how I start :P
Also, what you guys up to? some sort of organised writing thing?

I'm tasked with rewriting an entire user guide that hasn't been updated for years at a company and I am the only technical writer on the team. Only release notes were sent out all these years. The company adopts the agile development process, and a sprint typically spans three weeks.

I have eczema on my feet, nothing seems to get rid of it. Moisturizing and keeping my feet dry seems to be the best way to keep it at bay. (Wool cycling socks that wick away sweat are awesome for that. Or going barefoot.)
Was gonna put that on hold since it's kinda barebones, but none of the close reasons fit. And the original user hasn't been back since asking. Any thoughts on how to handle this?
"Unclear what you're asking" The answer to this question could change daily. without more details of why you want to know it's not possible to give a good answer
honestly, ive sort of been hands off a lot recently, its quite small and quiet still, not a lot happens and the other two usually catch it before me, time zones and what not
Suppose I wrote a book. Suppose it had a normal modern fictional story about it. Suppose that the characters aren't based on real people and have no relation to anyone. Suppose in the background of the story I'd depict Tim Tebow shooting heroin in the bathroom (not to sound goofy; it's just an ex...
