I use outdated technology just for fun, listen to crappy music, and watch a lot of horror movies. Expect posts about These Things. I talk a lot.

Check tags like Star Trek Archive and Media Piracy to find things I share for others.

writing this for my own benefit: quickly disentangle yourself from the utterly abysmal advice that overly using -ly adverbs makes your writing fundamentally worse

it doesn't. it is not important any more than "overusing said." stop second guessing yourself and write!

This kind of advice is good when it's coming from an editor going over a manuscript that's done and yeah when they have to deal with a problem that you've presented them but that's a totally different problem to 'get something written and done,' which is by far a more important hurdle to clear than 'but what if I improve the word quality 1%' editorial choices
