On my end, I thankfully don't usually have that problem on any sort of level other than 'finding typos I have to fix because I'm a perfectionist' or 'being unhappy with the format of the writing style'. The problem I've got right now is the latter. Generally speaking, I don't dislike my actual writing [i]itself[/i], even if I'm always telling myself I can do better. I'm far more 'Grammar Nazi' on myself than on other people.

So you know, I'm basically getting rid of the italics used for thoughts, if I go through with this. They're pissing me off, because in my eyes it's weird to use italics for thoughts if you're also using italics to do things like [i]this[/i] in your writing for emphasis. Whenever I see italics without the quotation marks, I often can't tell if it's meant to be third person dialogue (narrator) that has heavy emphasis, or first person internal dialogue (thoughts), because the whole point of quotation marks - in my eyes, anyway - is to separate a character from the narrator, and since I always specify who is speaking and whether it's speech or thought, it seems completely redundant to use italics, and just makes things needlessly confusing. For example, if I write an entire sentence of dialogue with emphasis, it'd be in italics -- that makes it impossible to distinguish from thought if I don't specify what it is.

Like I said, I'm a stickler for the details. I don't 'Nazi' other people's writing but I do it with my own.
