There are no rules

Despite what everyone likes to tell, and they’re usually people making money out of teaching courses or writing books like this one, there are no real rules to writing fiction. That is, apart from spelling, a modicum of correct grammar, and punctuation to make it readable and to get your meaning across. Note: “Eats shoots and leaves.” “Eats, shoots, and leaves.” And “Eats shoots, and leaves.” You won’t learn how to write from classes. You’ll only learn what someone else thinks. You learn from reading, and writing. You learn from yourself.
