Actually, I think the punctuation is correct as it is, although I may be mistaken. My understanding is that the closing quotation mark is omitted if the next paragraph is a continuation of the same character's dialogue, which was the case here. (What I'm not sure about is whether that rule applies only to paragraphs that are nothing but dialogue.)

As for the question of what I should do with my time, I would like to get my story done before the Total Drama franchise runs its course and is completely forgotten, but I didn't want to (mostly) cut off my reading/commenting unless there was a consensus that I should. (Not that I really expected there to be.) As some of you know, I tend to be fairly detailed with my feedback, and I'm sure that's both appreciated and helpful, especially to the newer/less prolific writers. Besides, I didn't want to send the message that I only cared about my own stories.
