109. What advice would you give to a new tulpa creator?
I thought wow, there must be some good advice here with so many tulpa creators! So I read though them all for the various answers to the question. A few chose not to answer, or had replied to an earlier version without the question. However, over 60 did!
As I looked a the information I saw much advice reiterated or spoken in different ways. I read through the answers and kept track of each piece of advice and how many times it was given. I have taken the liberty of listing the answers citing the most common suggestions first. I tried to edit as little as possible but I did make a few edits for clarification. I hope this serves as a reference for those who don't have time to read over all 60 surveys.
Remember these are suggestions, and may not be work for everyone. However, this does give a good sense of what has worked for many!
Tulpamancing Advice Report
Compiled and Edited by NariusV - From survey results as of 3/28/2014
Introduction, some comments about dis-belief and tulpas.
If you are going about this just to test if it is true, it probably won't work and you'll walk away thinking you proved something.
Some skepticism is fine, but if you go into it thinking there's no way this is real, then nothing will come out of it.
You can have a hyper-detailed form an personality, but that won't be anything more than an idea if you don't believe in their sentience.
Advice for Tulpamancers, Top Ten
1. (29) Believe in yourself and in your tulpa. Trust your tulpa, and assume they are there! This is the key to success above all else.
2. (17) Be regular about your forcing sessions. Spend time and talk with your tulpa. If you are wondering about whether to force or not, force more! Always keep forcing, and do not be afraid to work on your tulpa too much. Don't make your tulpa wait for you. Do your best to reach out to them as often as you can. Pay lots of attention to your tulpa. Devote consistent attention to your tulpa. Do not neglect your tulpa. Listen closely if you think they are trying to talk. Be prepared to share everything with them.
3. (15) Don't be mean, or scornful towards your tulpa. Don't treat your tulpa like a doll or imagine they are 'just an aspect of yourself'. Treat your tulpa as one of your own family, as a close friend. Don't stifle their development based on your preconceived notions. Recognize your tulpa as existing as soon as possible. Treat your tulpa like a sentient being. Be honest with yourself, and your tulpa. Tell your tulpa exactly what they are from the start; don't keep it a secret from them. Be kind to your tulpa.
4. (12) Stay dedicated to your tulpas creation. Take it seriously and do not quit. Never, ever give up, no matter what! Be persistent, stay consistent, and do not lose faith.
5. (10) Go with the flow. Do what you think is right, what feels natural and comfortable. Enjoy the process, and every minute spent with your tulpa. Have fun!
6. (10) Be patient with the process. Don't worry about rushing through, and go at your own pace, and do not worry about hour counts.
7. (9) Do not worry, seriously! Do not fear anything. Don't stress over the process, or be discouraged.
8. (8) Love your tulpa with all your being!
9. (3) Avoid distractions for unimportant things. Stay off the internet and IRC if you have to. Get that forcing time in!
10. (2) Be confident in your tulpa, and in yourself.

It (Tulpa Creation) takes time but pays off exponentially in the end.
It may be frustrating, but it's worth it.

Your tulpa is special.
Your tulpa will come when they feel ready and have the chance.

Preface
((If anyone has comments or advice on improving formatting or presentation, etc. please let me know. Thanks, Narius.))
There have been a significant number of responses to the Survey (and stylometric test) for fluently speaking tulpa. As I was browsing through it, question number 109 caught my eye.
109. What advice would you give to a new tulpa creator?
I thought wow, there must be some good advice here with so many tulpa creators! So I read though them all for the various answers to the question. A few chose not to answer, or had replied to an earlier version without the question. However, over 60 did!
