May 23	comment	Do publishers really need to translate between UK and US English? Actually, if a friend asked you to "knock up" his girlfriend in the US, he's looking to get her pregnant.

Apr 25	comment	The value of labeling book sections Sorry for lagging in my response--been wicked busy--but I wanted to clarify something. What do you think about naming parts and chapters? Is that taking it too far? Are too many threads getting crossed?
Apr 25	comment	The value of labeling book sections I agree about the damaging effect chapter titles can have. It surprises me that Twain would go so far as to list key words to each chapter in the TOC of Huck Finn. I do, however, enjoy single word chapter titles that are based on a salient image from the chapter.

Dec 31	comment	How many commas is too many? This question is a tangle. Can you give an example of something you've overwrought with commas so we can offer some concrete feedback.
Dec 31	answered	Is it a bad practice to occasionally add first-person narrative to third-person narrative?
Dec 31	comment	How can I keep my characters' identities a mystery successfully? There is a difference between outsmarting your readers and tricking them. You don't want to trick them.
Dec 31	comment	Is it a bad practice to occasionally add first-person narrative to third-person narrative? Strong analysis. I would disagree, though, about your edits to sentence one. The important thing isn't that Ruth disappears between the cars, but that Erin sees her disappear. This is an example of showing, showing that Erin is watching someone disappear from her, which is a lonely image.
