I *was* thinking about the Helena Wayne Huntress and at first the stubborn old man in me (well, I'm not *that* old!) resisted liking the Helena Bertinelli Huntress story, but I came around very, very fast! ;-)

Very good! I followed the chain to Goblins...

Check the typo in: httb://www.otb-games.com/

AFAIK, there is no "httb" protocol... ;-)

Allison, thank you for the reply and for taking my comments in the spirit they were given. What you said about helping each other out is exactly right. I appreciate direct feedback myself and I'm glad that you do, too. Keep up the great blog!

Okay, I'm going to be a total @ss and say if you're going to talk about perfectionism and quality writing, then make sure you proof your own post. In the title: "3 Michael Jackson Quotes Writes Should Know," you should spell out the number, change it to "Four" since that's how many quotes you have, and correct the spelling of "Writers." Then in the first paragraph, change "five quotes" to "four quotes" since, again, that's how many quotes you have.

I know I sound harsh—I mean no offense. Better to hear this from some random guy you'll never meet (me), than from a potential client or employer.

My favorite quote of these is the third. I've never heard it before and I think it's quite important—in fact it may be the best defense against burn-out as a writer. (That quote has a typo in it, too, though. Sorry, I can't let go.)
