Totes goes against what I was taught, but kids write and speak this way all the time. <br /><br />If you write in 3rd person, I definitely agree with this rule. First person...the lines are blurred. I may be wrong though! <br /><br />But I read this awesome novel lately that sometimes started sentences with conjunctions, and I didn't mind. Now if only my internet would download the rest of it.
