I don’t believe in the “rules of writing”. if anyone ever tells you you’re doing something “wrong” when it comes to writing, they’re being stupid. like it’s written language. there is no right way or wrong way. if a book “sounds stupid” i think that’s a good thing. maybe it’ll sound stupid, but maybe it’ll be unique. who cares.

when i tell you the first thing one of my professors taught me was that
everyone likes to talk about the rules of writing
but forget to mentiok the part where bending and breaking them is where individuality hides
thats the lesson that sticks
i could follow the publishing atandard all day long and often do when i write
but the real personality of a story lives in the spaces where you choose to ignore the standard altogether
just write how you feel
