Have you noticed any trends in overall ability regarding gender? I've found a lot of women I know have trouble discarding the passive voice, and write in an overly wordy style. On the other hand, I've found many men I know have trouble with grammar rules, such as the placement of commas. Have you found that men are better writers, women, or is it split fairly equally?

What do you think of genre fiction?

Well, like most fiction, most genre fiction is terrible. But I suppose every genre has its geniuses and its classics -- that is, people or works that exhibit an exceptional understanding of the genre's vitals. But I only have one thing to say about genre fiction and it's not very interesting, so you might want to skip to something else.

Your standards for what constitutes as interesting are far, far too high.
