Advice to writers
Under no circumstances is it acceptable to use the word “sheepishly.”
I should not need to explain why. This word will turn the finest sentence from music to something more like the sound of two steel-toed boots dropping on the boot mat: clunk, clunk. Using this word is like announcing that you lack ears.

What if the character acts in the manner of a sheep? I am saving that word, in case I ever write about such a character.
Congrats on the cool Globe review, by the way!
