Stop looking. Just make sure you enjoy yourself and stop worrying. After all - you are number 1!

Whilst driving to the office, don't laugh at some goon falling off their bike so that you start to cry and end up rear ending another car. It fucking hurts,

Best way to get rid of crabs - remove all clothes and go to the part of your house furthest away from a sink (back garden is best) and lie on a towel. Pour rubbing alcohol on your tackle and rub in.
Once the pain starts, leap to your feet and run to the nearest sink and wash your afflicted area.
The time between application and removal should be enough to kill the little fuckers.
(If you can get someone else to take this cure be sure to film it - the look on the sufferers face is priceless.)

after using a Japanese toilet, be sure to press the real 'FLUSH' button. The fake one merely makes a flushing sound effect, leaving the evidence of your shitty journey in the pan for the next person to enjoy.

to clean the shit off your arse and legs following a sharp, unpleasant shock, be sure to press the 'WASH ARSE' button. The *other* other button causes a blast of hot air to bake the still-fresh shitstains onto your skin.

be sure to correctly locate the 'FLUSH' button when you have finished.
The other button causes a small plastic nozzle to emerge from beneath the seat which squirts you in the face with warm, high pressure water, the shock of which will cause you to shit yourself.

always, always, always double-check you've locked the door.
You never know, your foxy line manager might choose that moment to burst in on you, mid-wipe, thus rendering months of groundwork, and possibly you, redundant.

On Lottery nights, try putting more than one fucking member of staff on the bloody ciggie counter.
That way you won't get disgruntled customers muttering under their breath as they wait for the optimistic idiot in front of them to buy 20 lottery lines indivifuckingvidually.

Gentlemen - if you haven't the foggiest clue what you're doing, just try spelling your name and other phrases with the tip of your tongue.
I found myself south of the border for the first time a couple of weeks ago, remembered the above advice and got 11/10 for my efforts. W00t!

If you can't be arsed to wash your hands after taking a piss, then don't just flush and walk straight out. Everyone will now youre a dirty scrubber and treat you like you have lurgy for the rest of the night.
Instead just stand there for a minute after flushing the bog. Even put the tap on, perhaps even have a quick wank. Everyone will think you're as hygenic as a baby wipe. (Unless you accidently get man milk all over your hands).

1. Write every day, even if it is only for half an hour.
2. Always keep a notebook / dictaphone handy, at all times - you never know when an idea will strike (I sometimes use the notes or voice recording feature on my mobile for this).
3. NEVER TELL anyone your story ideas! Or if you have to keep it general, i.e. "it's sf / noir / historical etc." If you tell someone your idea, your subconscious will have already told the story, and by the time you come to write it you'll find yourself drained of all enthusiasm for it
4. Join a writers' group. Peer review is invaluable.
5. Be prepared to accept harsh criticism but don't take it personally - unfortunately, this can only be learned by experience.
6. But remember that you don't have to take any and all advice - it's your story, after all. If several people tell you the same thing, i.e., the scene's too slow, plot holes, etc, then you can be pretty sure what to fix, but be wary of listening to too many people. Send your work to a couple of trusted fellow writers or members of your writers' group.
7. Show don't tell.
8. Always stay inside the POV of your character. Some authors don't do this, e.g. Frank Herbert in Dune, but you're not Frank Herbert - yet.
9. Try to avoid cliches - like the plague. Think of new ways to say things.
10. Unless you're independently wealthy, don't give up the day job.
