Advice for Fun and Profit

[vanity-lost.livejournal.com]

I know we have a ton of writers and writerly types in this group. Almost all of whom are talented like whoah. Plus just lots of intelligent, snarky peoples. So, I was wondering... 

If you could give LKH one piece of advice (literary or even otherwise I guess) what would it be? 

Or alterately... what's the best piece of writing advice you've ever gotten and how does Mad Ms. Hamilton violate it? 

Because seriously I sometimes wonder what her series would look like if someone was standing next to her with a 2x4 of Literary Wisdom. You know, someone to go "Peachy, darling, now just what the hell does X have to do with the main plot?" or "That's redundant. Delete and rephrase." 

There are some things that just seem so elementary going wrong- like time and characters popping into scenes they weren't in a moment before, but how to fix it?

Okay. I am stepping away from the keyboard now before the Nyquil takes further control.

You're welcome. Being sick isn't any fun.

Maybe she can't tell he's got grammar issues because she's too busy writing the moaning/hot/wet/big/tight stuff?
