#WritersCoffeeClub day 16: Must writing always in complete sentences? Unusual syntax?
Oh, fragments are fine! Especially in first-person or close-third narration.
And then there are dream sequences. I've got one of those so far, and will definitely have at least one or two more. I'm deliberately writing them in a fractured, warped syntax as a way of signaling to the reader that something weird is going on.

#WritersCoffeeClub day 17: Can plots which hinge on a misunderstanding be done well? How many of Shakespeare's comedies hinge on misunderstandings? (For that matter, at least one plot point in _Romeo and Juliet_ also hinges on a misunderstanding...)
