Ok I'll be the first to vote and reply.

I have to admitt that I haven't read all of it, but the parts that I did read gave me an impression.

I have my own writing style. I write what I think is cool, and I think it's pretty good. So do others, while they sometimes have some tiny comments. I don't always change it after those comments.

You suggest things like 'show intelligence through dialogs'. So I actually have to think about how I can show intelligence through dialogs? I just write my dialogs and see if they're intelligent enough. I don't have to think about it, it just happens. Perhaps that's because I read a lot. I know what is good. When I write, I try to write it interesting enough. I don't think I need writing lessons. So I voted 'no'.

I also don't think writing lessons will help people that 'just can't write'. Sure, they might get something better than expected after following those lessons, but it still won't be a good story. Writing is in your feeling, not in your knowlegde.

Sorry Xanny
