My first tip is, don't become a workaholic. Ahahaha... But let's see.

I'd generally either have almost everything 'clicking' in your head OR a fully-satisfying draft before you even began to think about uploading to the wiki. Some people need to plan everything out, and others are at their best when they're winging things; but I generally find that if you don't have either inspiration or organization, it can become all too easy to have a few great ideas that turn out fair, at best.

Two - read a lot in the interrim. Maybe keep a notebook of things that you were scary to you; though I'd recommend to avoid anything too 'current' or serious, as unfortunately such topics have a tendancy to be hard to convey with the right gravity. Check off a few that you think you could write a good story about!

Three, try reading a pasta aloud before you click the post button. If you find that it sounds silly or none-too-scary when you read it, ask yourself why, and fiddle with it some more. Don't be afraid to store it in a text document for later if you're running out of free time; there's no time limit here, after all. And most of all - have fun.
