narrative

"So what happened?" When someone asks you that, what do you say? You respond by telling a story - when it happened, where it happened, how it happened and why it happened.

One of the nice things about being an author is that we can Break any rule we want. (I just did.) It's part of our job description. Language changes through usage -- definitions, spelling, grammar -- and authors can help it do this. But on the other hand, we have to have some sort of agreement on the language or we won't be able to talk to each other.
