I agree with the freedom in writing itself (to a certain extent), but you must execute no matter what sort of "contract" you enter into with the reader. Sometimes, what I encounter as a reader is a lazy writer failing to execute, violating their own rules with the excuse of "freedom."
it never made sense to me anyway since i don't read that way, or watch movies that way or anything else. i'm always interrupting a book or movie to think about what the artist has done, even if it's scary or exciting, 'realist' or whatever.

John Gardener's Art of Fiction was my first favorite writing resource back in high school.
Back in high school...you implying something here?
