I love the lawyer metaphor, because whenever I see “John knew that...” in prose writing I immediately think “how?  How does he know it?”  Interrogate your witnesses.  Cross-examine them.  Make them explain their reasoning.  It pays dividends.

All of this, but also feels/felt. My editor has forbidden me from using those and it’s forced me to stretch my skills.

This is your "show not tell" advice explained!

I think the "pre" and "post" parts in "preposterous" should cancel each other out but everyone else seems to find my idea completely erous

adam has the worst luck in the world can you imagine for your whole life having undiagnosed ocd and right when you do start recognizing it within yourself BAM you find out youre also psychic so at least some of what you thought were obsessive thought spirals were actually just you intuiting things that are real. and now you just kind of have to wing it when it comes to differentiating psychic powers and the persistently knocking of mental illness. and one of the visions or intrusive thoughts you keep having is of you killing your best friend. and on top of that you dont even have 15 dollaaarrrrrs

Jean said “How easily these Trojans fall in love”… like damn hypocrite have you looked in the mirror lately?
