It’s time for another edition of The Insecure Writer’s Support Group, founded by Ninja Captain, Alex J. Cavanaugh.
The question for today: Since it's back to school time, let's talk English class. What's a writing rule you learned in school that messed you up as a writer?
I can’t think of a writing rule, but just using proper, stifled, passive phrases and sentences-which works for school papers-doesn’t work for writing a story. Eliminating words such as “was”-I had to learn that.

Some of you may have seen this on Facebook, but since Dancing Lemur Press doesn’t have another event scheduled until next May, we are closing out our 11x14 art prints. They are $8.00 each (just above cost.) Shipping is $6.00 but that covers multiple posters. These are custom designed on the computer by our illustrator. If you are interested in any, let me know!
What writing rule messed you up?
