I hit go and the first thing I saw was: "This game will challenge you to write well and write fast."

People write quickly. :). Normally I wouldn't nitpick that, but since your whole site is about making better writers, I immediately have a trust issue if you can't use adverbs correctly.

Sometimes I break grammar rules for effect...in that case, I like the rhythm of the single-syllable words "write well and write fast" better than "write well and write quickly".

But you're totally correct. Maybe that's not the best place to flex rule-breaking :D

Nothing wrong with a little rule breaking! But you have to establish trust first, so yeah, maybe not best to do it first thing. :)
