"You could call it heroic responsibility, maybe," Harry Potter said. "Not like the usual sort. It means that whatever happens, no matter what, it's always your fault."
What's with all the passive voice dissing? I know it is "common" advice, but at this point, you are a necromancer raising this long-discredited prescriptivist cliche from the grave. It irks me because it gets covered by fairly reliable sources about as often as the "eskimos have n words for snow" thing.

I agree that there are some sentences out there that could be better constructed if there was a change in the voice, but a blanket condemnation of perfectly valid grammatical features is unwarranted.

I'm going to link Scrivener here. It's basically a customizable writing suite designed to accommodate a wide range of work methods.

Does anyone have any experience with the Linux port? It looks interesting, but I'm not going to spend $40 without a significant chance of it working.
