I came across several disciplines of writing which one must know while writing (especially beginners), concerning narrative conventions and the rules of story logic. Some of the sources for this include _On Writing_, some internet articles and precious advice from Writers SE answers. I noticed that these focus on giving advice to **_beginners_**. Answers explained the exceptions (made by the expert writers) of what they had really asked **and** at the same time advised that they should go with the traditional rules only. Some include: - ### [The "Rules" of writing](https://writers.stackexchange.com/questions/761) > experienced writers will respond by saying "there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to writing", or "rules are made to be broken" - ### [When is it okay to tell?](https://writers.stackexchange.com/questions/54) > If you look at the great authors, they break the rules **all the time** Why does one really need rules of logic and narrative convention? If there is a discipline that is often broken by the experts themselves, then why should a beginner follow it?
