BREAKING SOME OF THE RULES OF CREATIVE WRITING

 BREAKING SOME OF THE RULES OF CREATIVE WRITING

By Christine Trzyna

Here are some of the Rules of Creative Writing I've heard in various classes that I've found published authors have broken successfully.

1) Never use italics or bold or fancy fonts as a means of expression. You should use adjectives and adverbs.

2) Never have more than a few characters. The story is too complicated and difficult to follow when you load up your short story or novel with too many.

3) Don't use run on sentences that are overly descriptive with fancy language. If you can't read it without taking a breath, the sentence is too long. (Strunk and White advocates simple, clear, communicative writing.)

4) Use standard punctuation. This is not the place to get creative.

5) Don't write your life story and then try to publish it as fiction.

ANDERSON PAAK and THE FREE NATIONALS (THE MOST EXCITING PERFORMER TODAY!)

  Yes, I do think Anderson Paak (with the Free Nationals) is the most talented and exciting performer, musician,songwriter, etc. in existence today. That said, I WARN YOU THAT THERE IS A HELL OF A LOT OF WHAT WE USED TO CALL FOUL LANGUAGE IN THE WORDS USED (MUSICALLY AND NOT) IN THIS VIDEO. 

Southern California claims him - and most of his musicians - as our "own."  He grew up in Ventura County, just a little north-west.
