I'm so glad you posted this! I feel the same way. Sometimes, yes, I do need to use an adverb. There is no singular verb that better describes my point. Sometimes. I think we can be too hung up on being pure with our writing, so it prevents the story coming across. Also, sometimes the verbs "are" and "am" are needed. Except that sentence wasn't a good example.
