Well, after the innitial burst of enthusiasm had died down and I read most of the little bits and pieces, I came accross a little area of text that stated that by getting your work "published" in h2g2 would change your life, I thought "well that's for me then, I feel my life could do with a good changing.". That little area of text also stated that you should write about things that you know about. This didn't bother me cause I thought "oh that's easy! It'll be a piece of cake!"
Now three days later I haven't even attempted to write anything intelligent and I have now realised I don't really know much about anything. I mean, I could write about lots of things, but really, I don't think I know ENOUGH to sound really intelligent and get my work on the net. Also, it's quite likely that no one wants to know about the things I knnow lots about. Sad eh?

Sounds as if you're about to give up hope. Pity! Remember, if you know lots about something, there must be a reason. Or are you just the cussed sort who will learn lots about things you care nothing about, out of a need to torture yourself and those around you?
Go ahead--write it. It'll feel good. And what's the worst that can happen, anyway? Not get edited? Well, same result as if you didn't do it at all. But if you DID...Riches, Glory, Fame, Power...all the delights the world has to offer*. Why not?
