I recommend watching a film like The Thing, to help you realize how to achieve suspense. (just an example).

Read pastas, and notice their styles and formats.

Experiment. Originality spawns from experimentation.

Don't create a Jeff the Killer-like story.

Have fun.

Bring out your inner horror. That bad side. The logical, yet stern part.

Never write because you feel you must. Write only when you want.

Long times usually result in good pasta. Tasty pasta. Pasta that makes someone who hates pasta fall in love. They will keep ordering it. It will gather fans it serves. Great pasta.

As a continuation of the last tip, but less metaphorical, don't be afraid to take a long time to dish out your special plate of pasta. Yummy, yummy pasta.

Keep a copy of your stories in your email or on notepad (or a similar service.) This will help in case your pasta isn't delicious and gets thrown away or wasted by the customer (deleted from wiki.) It will help you use your old recipe to create a better pasta (re-write, change issues), and you can put it back in the chef's testing room (Writer's Workbench). If it is good enough, it goes back on the menu (Back on the wiki).
