I think I should say that writing is a process that takes a copious amount of time. It took me almost a month of work to make my first creepypasta, and even then I worked for many hours every night, not to mention all the draining thought that went into it. This was all done to make sure my story was the best it could be (I may have came up short, but I digress). What I'm trying to say here is that if you really want to write a creepypasta, then it is utterly essential that you devote your time and care to it. You just simply cannot rush through when you are writing/editing/proofreading your pasta. The Writer's Workshop is here to help you, of course, but at the end of the day it is up to you to make sure that your story is given the proper care, time, and author energy it needs to flourish. If this means you stop writing for a few weeks and just think of new, original ideas for that time, then so be it. That's usually what I do.

For me, it seems that writing a creepypasta is 55% thought and 45% actual writing. It is probably different for you and everyone else, but that's how I write. It is imperative that you let your own writing process unfold without rushing it. This is the only way you will be able to make good pastas, unfortunately there are no alternatives.

And as for inspiring a wiki about "fails," well, I just hope they aren't my fails. (Believe me, I have plenty)
