See, I would do it the other way because AJ is the speaker and his action goes hand in hand with the dialogue. It's all subjective!

I took HELP ME down off AC. Two reasons. We are reformatting it & we are having to redo some years and ages so that i makes sense!

It is all subjective! Except for that comma...I'm a stickler on comma's. 

Rose:
I'd do it the other way, since it's AJ's action.

AJ stuck part of his finger in his mouth. "Sorry." He muttered.

To me it makes more sense that you're starting out with AJ's action since he's the one speaking as he does the action. But it's definitely subjective lol.

Jen's right about the comma though.

evergreenwriter83:
Yeah, my last English teacher hated when I stuck dialogue after an action.  But I've caught myself doing it in my own stories.  But thanks for the back-up on the comma love!
