Two Writing Rules You Can (and should) Break

Welcome to Our Relationship with Writing - a show by writers for writers, all about writing! On this week’s episode, we discuss two of the most misunderstood “rules” of writing: show don’t tell and write what you know. What is the intention behind these rules vs. the common interpretation? When and how should you deviate from this guidance? We answer all these questions and more on the show!
