The final craft essay in my series at Intrepidus Ink deals with one of my favorite writing topics:

Learn the rules, follow the rules, break the rules.

I talk about why we have rules in the first place, when and why we might break them, and give tips on how to go about it.

Many thanks to my friends at II for inviting me to guest on their blog the past few weeks. I had a lot of fun finding and analyzing the example stories, and I hope you reader/writers found the essays helpful.
