Can someone who has read stuff I've written name some things I'm not good at? I'm trying to figure out what to try to practice...
I would suggest looking at the judgments for your stories in the challenges you entered.
Well...I have been writing tonight. Woo hoo. My schedule has been as crazy as ever, and unfortunately, writing has been pushed to the bottom of my huge pile of to do these past weeks. I am going to try to write more during thanksgiving break though, so I'll have the time. Now all I'll need to do is actually write...no hard problem right?

Yep, by Vox Day, i forget the name of the book. The Werewolves, right?
So I'm tinkering away at my story, and I keep being tempted to use the phrase "it couldn't be worse than" in all kinds of places. Technically, it's fine, but it also feels like it's an unspoken promise to the reader about how it's absolutely definitely going to get worse.
Which is annoying because it actually isn't so I'll have to write something else instead.

Never use only 1 save with Bethesda games. If the accidental deletings don't ruin the fun, it will be the bugs.

I do the same thing with both Bethesda and BioWare games. One of the captions for Dragon Age 2 loading screens is "Remember to save your game frequently!" and I always laugh nervously when I see it. Heh. Guilty. At least DA2 autosaves after every cutscreen...
One instance where it came back to bite me was the time I rode on an autosave for three hours on Skyrim. Never, ever do that. I ended up getting killed by a dragon outside Markarth and loading back to where it had autosaved when I left my house in Windhelm.

I know, right?! That was a lesson I should have learned with Skyrim but noooo....
Although I do have a ton of saves from level 19-26, so guess I'm level 26 again. GRRROOOOOAAAANNN.
That sounds super annoying. I've had some miserable reloads where I had rage quit in the middle of battle and reloaded to some seriously bad shizzle going on...like a Dragon Priest shooting me with lightning.

I don't really rage quit, I just keep reloading even after I've died like five hundred times. I'm too stubborn I guess. 
There was one time where I was in Valthume, trying to defeat a Draugr Deathlord who was about level 20...I was at level 7 at the time. After getting frozen, hacked to pieces, or roasted to death more times than I could count, I finally just sprinted out of Valthume and promptly ran into the Headless Horseman. I followed him to a barrow, where I then had to fight off a bunch of skeletons and Draugr.
I think the worst thing in Skyrim is if you have a dog...One time my dog died in a fight and I was so heartbroken I loaded back to a save before the fight.

Wow, at least two different pee-pee magicks have been created and published in the world of Fantasy. Who'da thunkit.

Lol I'm that way with any game involving a dog.
