Playing with rules

by Rosie Burns
2nd February 2014

Is it just me or does anyone else get frustrated about rules in writing. Whenever I try to do something a bit different, which is I suppose most of the time I get feedback on rules in writing. I like writing that makes me think and question. Ie I just entered a comp that encouraged people to play with structure and the feedback I got was the structure was wrong. I feel a bit lost...
