Last Week’s Lesson

When to break the rules?

Will I ever know when breaking the rules serves my work for the better?

It is intimidating being a newbie writer and discovering that there are all these big rules about writing. Some of them are good, solid rules that should be the backbone of your writing, but others can come and go.

I am also discovering that different genres have their own rules and subsets of the rules.

So, this week’s lesson, I suppose, is not to take myself and my writing so freaking seriously and bend the rules when I feel that it serves my work for the best.
