Strunk and White say to stick to a structure and form and stick with it without changing it. However, if a person is knowledgeable about the rules of writing, they could bend the rules like many successful writers do at times.
If an author was writing a novel, does the author need to stick to telling the story in prose, or can he switch to the occasional poetry or maybe a screenplay or script for an occasional chapter? Can an author switch forms within the novel and still make it work?
Has any author done this already? Would this be an interesting type of writing?
