Ways to speed up my writing to 15 - 20 pages a day Do you have a particular reason you want to hit these numbers (15-20 pages a day) or do you just think they might be a good pace? |

How many commas is too many? This is an excellent list, but I would still make the argument that commas could be used correctly in the grammatical sense, but still be overused (which is what I believe is being asked here). Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. |

A cross-[What] kind of romance? I was kinda hoping for a signed copy and a major character to be named after me, but whatever you think is best... |

A cross-[What] kind of romance? @LaurenIpsum I would very much like to read whatever this is you are writing. It sounds graphic in the best way. |

A cross-[What] kind of romance? @JAM I like inter-carbonality. It's got an edge... |

Are music lyrics copyrighted? To be fair, whether or not your work that is for profit is not an actual measurement for infringement, though it may be factored when people are deciding whether it's worth litigating against you. Warner Bros. likes to crack down on Harry Potter fan fiction sites, but magazines and newspaper regularly use snippets from copyrighted material in reviews (or even articles) because it is falls under fair use (or close enough that it's not worth the time and money to litigate). |

Is it really necessary to add things like “I thought, I wondered, etc,” in first-person narrative? About 50% of all questions about writing can be answered with the phrase "Words that serve no purpose should be omitted". |
