Writing rules
I read the other day that writers don’t need to obey writing rules and they gave the example of using Was and Were. Writing rules are strong guidelines to a tight and well written piece. You can only break the rules now and agin IF you know them and adhere them.
No one is above the rules. I’m a stickler about using WAS. I forgot to do a search on my new MS. It was a rough draft and the publisher said we’ll edit it. My editor sent it back saying she found 200 of those pesky things. Me! She fixed them and I told her next time don’t. I need to do it.
As I’m reading through the work I shook my head. Next MS do a search/find. I’m embarrassed. It’s a lesson I’m working on. No one is perfect 😉
