For the name thing, when it gets distracting and your reader gets sarcastic about what New Sparkly Name of Awesome you're going to use next (I'm looking at you, Reneesme Carlie Cullen!), you konw you've overdone it and wandered into irritating sparkletastic glittersville of bad writingdom (also called that magical kingdom over the hill where 15 year old fantasies are real!).

You can have a park, if you want there to be woods and you still want to be in the middle of the city.

For the muse's time wasting on FONT, I just standardized mine. I always write in proper manuscript format. Since it's "proper," my muse is okay with leaving it be. The playlist, though? I sink way more than 30 minutes in to it each time I have to re-do it. If you're getting away with only 30, I want to know your secret of how!

Oh, well that's easy. I only have one song per playlist! :P I used to have long playlists, but recently, I just tend to open media player, pick one song and put that in loop for hours. It's worked so far - the only thing is that that one song has to be the right song. And that's where it takes 30 minutes.

Wish I could be as consistent on fonts. I started dividing my writing in fonts some time ago, and since then have become obsessed. At least, though, I haven't been using fonts like Curlz MT or Windings. Mighty hard to read in those fonts, I hear...

Thanks, by the way, for the tip on the park idea! I'll see if that'll work in context... :)
