Re: A new rule in my review guide
From this cunning addition to your bible: A SELF PROCLAIMED STYLE NAZI MANIFESTO one quivers with remorse as writer.

Whereas, impossible to wildly return willy-nilly to completed works and work these points into them.

However, points to ponder whenever a work-in-progress mood grabs us into a deluge of overstatement. E.g. Shall the quest for perfection kill the canary caught in the mine shaft? And if not the best for the piece, at least a consistency throughout is meant to prevail, I suppose.

I agree, actually with most of this. Maybe it is best to vary the sequence, use what sounds best for specifics.

The 'whispered softly' point is indeed a correction until now, I would have overlooked for future re-re-edits.
