Even if I had all the expertise and experience, I don't think I could handle your job. I'd end up leaping across conference tables and shaking people by their lapels, saying things like, "IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT AND NEVER WILL, YOU ULTIMATE TOOL!"
As for your writing, all you have to do to guide people/gently bend them into your story is give them characters they care about. As long as you care about the person (human, non human, female, male, indeterminate, majority culture or fringe element), I'll gladly follow them into anything and back out again. I know you can write like that, but I'm also glad you seem to be making mental notes to be patient with yourself. Writing is hard. Really hard. Worth it, but hard.
