1. Why did he feel the need to regularly write half page paragraphs, and sometimes write 3 or 4 page paragraphs? This is HORRIBLE.

2. Why does he usually not start a new line for dialogue, a convention that 95% of writers follow? It's another thing that, when combined with the first point, makes his work very hard to read.

Nobody has ever been able to answer these questions, and laughs as if they're stupid (which they certianly aren't). Can someone tell me? I'm starting to warm to him (eventually), but I hate these things about him.
