In my writing life, I believe rules are made to be broken, even some grammar rules. I chalk those up to “style.” My main characters are completely made up fantasy from my own imagination and the rest of the characters don’t exactly follow cannon. I made up my own rules for what they can and cannot do and even how the first ones were created. But, as a fantasy writer, once I make the rules, I have to follow them. This is one place where you can’t change them mid-stream because your readers will be like your brother – only it’s your book they’re breaking and throwing and your reputation as a writer that gets destroyed. It’s fun but sometimes challenging. And yes, sometimes I get mad at myself for doing something that doesn’t make it easier to play later.

If writers don’t break the rules, though, we’d never get anything different. That’s what makes an author and a story new and interesting.

I even sneak into the movies…lol…don’t tell…shhhhh.
I’m writing a YA paranormal, but it isn’t any of the usual paranormal stuff. From what I’ve seen, it hasn’t been done before at all.
