From CP's essay on how to become the bestest writer ever, like him:
"Once my first draft of Eragon was finished, I had to learn how to write properly. That may sound like an oxymoron, but it’s not."
No, it certainly isn't. Because an oxymoron is "a rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in a deafening silence and a mournful optimist," not "a sentence that doesn't make sense" or even a "non sequitur" (Dictionary.com).
