On a related note (for both players and GMs):

Don't hold back or hoard ideas. If a cool NPC, scene, location, monster or whatnot pops into your head, use it as soon as possible. I've seen a lot of people saving their cool ideas waiting for the perfect moment, which of course never comes. The right moment is always now.
