Thanks. You seriously think 'until my English is good enough to write my book in' is wrong?
Doesn't 'to write my book in English' justify it?

What counts as a "run on" sentence depends. News stories are supposed to be written so that young readers can easily follow. Opinions vary how young, about 12 or 14. That means shorter sentences and shorter paragraphs.
Anything not news has its own particular audience.
Rules are more relaxed where time to compose is limited. The rules for impromptu speech are far more relaxed. How long people allow themselves to compose messages on this board can vary. Some people respond right away, others are more careful. I would call this a more casual forum than most.
