It drives me wild when I get a story that's obviously slapped together, and the same can be said for a manuscript; you should respect your reader enough to give her something that reflects your best efforts.

It is simplistic to seek ecological perfection at the cost of bankrupting the very tax-paying enterprises which must pay for the social advances we seek.
Richard M. NixonWhen I'm talking about a developing world, I also look at clean-water access - women who are more vulnerable to sexual violence when they're fetching water.
