[Writing Post] DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!
In writing terms, I just did something that breaks a WHOLE FREAKIN’ bunch of “professional” writing rules. Not actually going to say WHAT just now, going to wait to see how it turns out first.
BUT… if you’re going to break rules. Keep these in mind:
1. Know your “audience”. Make sure whoever you’re breaking rules for is someone you have a good working relationship with.
2. ONLY do this if there’s no other option.
3. Be prepared for it all blow up in your face. And take your lumps/consequences like a Grown Up.
4. Don’t be a jerk about it.
I know I’ve followed the first three. Hoping like heck I did the last one, too.
