It's like the rules for writing, learn them first, then you can break them. <br /><br />Readers aren't nearly as picky about such things as the authors--though there are exceptions.<br /><br />MarilynMarilyn Meredith a.k.a.

You hear a lot of "never dos" out there, and some I think an author should take heed of (like editing!), and some, not so much. As a reader I don't care what the beginning is called or how the author does it, as long as I like what they're saying and want to keep going. (didn't mean to write so much!)<br /><br />MadelineM.M.
