Good points, and I know that after reading asides in a sentence, I write them a whole lot less. Also, my vocabulary has improved since I've ended up looking up bunches of words to see what they mean and how to pronounce them. Dictionary.com is my friend.

A lot of my podfics are done for a charity auction and the bidder picks the story, so I just try and do my best with the story, even if it's one I might not have picked myself to record.
