Review Omni Tech Support

Yeah... Thanks a lot for telling the actual RULE of writing. You didn’t have to stretch it too long to speak up. Anyways as a sign of gratitude I write this comment for contributing the golden rule. Keep sharing more information.

There is a lot of discussion about the rules of writing. In fact there is only one. I'll tell you later because telling you now would violate the 'Rule'. The other 'rules' are guidelines, hints, advice, styles or models. They say you have to know the 'rules' before you can break them. Well, breaking a rule incurs penalties. You can use bad grammar and get away with it. You can spell wrong, you can have no plot or have no characters. All these have been done in highly acclaimed works and best sellers. No, the only rule is – write so that the reader keeps reading. That's it. Now go write.
