If there’s one thing that irks me, it’s applying rules to creative endeavors.
I’m also not much for taking things out of context. Like this.
Any word you have to hunt for in a thesaurus is the wrong word. There are no exceptions to this rule. — Stephen King
A lot of writers treat King’s advice on writing like a bible and, like a lot of Bible carriers, they often take things over-literally and take quotes completely out of context.
This is an example of both.
