If it sounds....

[Paul Whybrow]

'If it sounds like writing, I rewrite it. Or, if proper usage gets in the way, it may have to go. I can't allow what we learned in English composition to disrupt the sound and rhythm of the narrative.'

Elmore Leonard

 

[RK Capps]

Totally. One of the things that throws me out of a story is too correct grammar, or too distracting grammar.
