I am a fiend for accurate communication. Hence, I shred writing that is vague or sports wobbly punctuation. I also dislike having my time wasted, so I often sound impatient when critiquing sloppy writing. By the same token, I am wary of big, fat, commercially published fantasy novels. Having said that, I have also to acknowledge that I've never published a ->short<- Dargon story.
Oh well. It's never too late to start a career in writing; you can starve to death at any age.
