BTW totally not trying to tell you how to write! I appreciate that different methods work for different people, and I'm more of a dabbler myself - a little art, a little writing, a little programming, etc.
LOL--you can tell me what you want! And I'll do as I tell others to do when I give advice: think about it, keep the parts that are helpful, and ignore the rest (unless it becomes helpful later).
But I do appreciate the politeness of sharing your perceptions and perspectives, with an appreciation that different people really are different. :-D
I dabble too--a lot of writing, but also painting, drawing, fabric arts, music, gardening. Some of what I want to do would be easier if I did programming, but I'd really rather be doing the creative stuff.
I was a story editor for a fanzine way back when - small fries but the experience made me prone to getting out the red pencil. };) That plus being GM and raid leader for a World of Warcraft raiding guild may incline me to speak authoritatively at times.
Some people can get a little unhappy in such circumstances, but experienced bloggers don't seem to have a problem with feedback, by and large. It goes with the territory, I suppose!
