Are you serious? Someone above was just saying advice usually isn't welcome so I felt my advice function shriveling up.

I was being very serious. I posted to you on the another thread saying I would start the writer's thread because I believe that one of the best things that can happen during the writing process is critique and advice from someone who is willing to help the author succeed. That is what I pictured the thread evolving into in.

So, your advice function should not shrink but increase. Writers need other writers to help hone their craft. (That's my opinion) It's what the Bible calls iron sharpening iron.
