but I use them to break up what would otherwise be a marathon of a sentence or two awkward dumplings sat in separate bathroom stalls.

Yep, that’s when I use them too, but I do find that just separating the sentences by starting the latter one with a conjunction is something authors do relatively often (instead of a semicolon that is).

Nonetheless I try to use them only as dramatic punctuation, rather than to regularly combine sentences across a period.

Interesting, I don’t think I’ve heard of them being used for this specific reason (other than the ‘then X’ example).

Hit me with a doc link and I’ll try to take a look at it within the next couple weeks. I have more time than usual thanks to focusing on just my degree over the summer instead of trying to work and study full time at once, so I can take a gander! Do you want me to purely focus on line edits or approach your chapter with a mind to storytelling as well?

Thanks! I’ll get you doc link and answer that question momentarily.
