Re: RTF
Chris:
.RTF is a file protocol. It stands for Rich Text Format. Your wordprocessor should have it as an option under "Save As."
The nice thing about .RTF is that any wordprocessor can open a RTF saved by any other wordprocessor and maintain formatting, and RTF won't carry macro viruses.

Some great advice <a href="http://www.highclearing.com/archivesuo/week_2004_05_09.html#005326" target="_new">here</a>. Although it's specifically about poetry, it's applicable to writing in general:
<blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>What would I recommend as far as "trying your hand?" Start by slavishly imitating poets you admire. This is the opposite of the standard advice that you need to concentrate on "finding your own voice." ... Your own voice will take care of itself as your craft matures. Your own voice will, if you're going to have one, insist on emerging. In the meantime, learn the craft. <hr></blockquote>
