"Your love of colons is disturbing and bad."
(The Wanlorn also tends to tag my more dramatically twisted sentences with 'LOL' and 'FAIL.' Everyone should have a proofer like her. After going through one of her edit files, I am immune to all future editorial cruelty. How I adore her.)
I also have an enormous file of logic problems from Vixy, who basically attacked the entire manuscript with a giant stick marked 'this makes no sense.' Sometimes I wonder why I let her live. And then I remember that I'd be sad if she were gone.
Ah, the joys of editing.

I don't quite have J.K. Rowling disease; instead, what I have is a deep love of the semi-colon -- which I know you've noticed, 'cause you read my journal -- and a tendency to second-guess myself, leading to semi-colons becoming colons until someone slaps me.
