It’s okay for an author to break the rules as long as they’ve practiced the rules they are breaking.

Could the Semicolon Die Out? Recent Analysis Finds a Decline in Its Usage in British Literature and Confusion Among U.K. Students Not only are semicolons evidently becoming more rare, but young people are less aware of how to use them, according to a survey

This means being consistent within your novel is essential to building and maintaining reader trust.

If your writing is 'all over the place' then a reader will conclude you are incompetent and not bother to finish your 'stylish' novel.

I have wierd little rules for my writing.

One of them is if MS Word knows what I'm about to say-
If it gives me the tab-to-fill option-
I'm writing something else.

I'll change a whole damn paragraph to make Word cry.

What are your rules?

According to 'them' I'm doing it wrong.

No I don't outline before I write my book.

Yes I edit while I'm still writing.

It has worked for me for three full books and I'm now working on my fourth.

Do you break the 'rules' of writing too?
