I don't see it as me being gracious...I'm being smart:)

After all, from what I understand you write for a living and you have been in the PoT fandom longer than I have. I believe the best, and most respectful, thing I could do is take your suggestions, as both a career writer and a PoT fan, and put them to work for me:)

I believe that I can only improve as a writer myself if someone is willing to be honest with me and point out the flaws (minor and major) in my works. It would be detrimental to my learning anything if I took constructive criticism as a personal affront to my writing skills.

Thanks again:)
