I don't care. This "rule" is about as relevant as "I before E except after C", and it isn't what I asked about. Stop detailing my thread. What's unprofessional is writing like a robot because you think your readers are too stupid to understand a sentence where more than one thing happens.

I don't like having to use my book's narration to just straight out explain things if I don't have to. Like, if a name is pronounced a certain way, I don't want to have to go "The word was spelled [blah] but he pronounced it [bleh]." I just wrote this as a way to make it sound a little more...

Sweet potatoes. Potatoes are God's greatest and most versatile gift to mankind. Sweet potatoes are Satan's attempt at replicating that miracle and creating an unholy abomination. And like the lost, blind sinners we are, we gobble them down anyway with marshmallows on top.

I had dreams, once. I was going to find my way into the hands of a great adventurer. I was going to be a primary, indispensable part of their loadout. I was going to help them save the world. And years later, whenever people asked them how they did it, they would put a fond hand on me and say...

It just looks like it's coming out of his hands, unless you pose with your arms outstretched when you pee.

My least favorite word is the sound of two balloons being rubbed together. I have no idea how to spell it.

Maybe that's true for complicated actions, but if someone has trouble understanding "he flinched" and "she grabbed his arm" because they're in the same sentence, then I feel like the issue is their reading comprehension, not my writing. Yeah, that just sounds robotic and not the least bit natural.

I've only played one game of D&D when my friend was trying to reach me how to play. He dropped me into a gladiator arena and had me fight a ninja. I rolled a 1. The ninja rolled a 1. I rolled a 1. The ninja rolled a 1. I rolled a 1. The ninja rolled a 1. I rolled a 1. The ninja rolled a...

Time to get obscure. Anybody heard of Marsuvees Black?

I'm editing XNPC, and I can't make up my mind about this sentence: He flinched when she grabbed his cast and held it up to the light, as if she could see through it like an envelope and judge how the bone was healing. Is holding an envelope up to the light to see through it a common enough...

I've been watching One Piece, and I'm on the Sabaody Park arc with the Celestial Dragons. I'm at the part where they're trying to rescue their friend from the human auction, and...is it just me, or are the Celestial Dragons too hatable? Yeah, I know, you're supposed to hate the villains. Half...
