Not sure you have a good grasp of what grammar entails, but hey.

As far as grammar and writers go, of course good writers can use bad
grammar, but they generally do it with a full understanding of what's
involved and to achieve a certain effect. Bad grammar does not a good
writer make, and it *will* hurt your chances of having your work
published as a first-timer in the hard, cold, elitist world of
publishing. But good luck, and keep up your spirit!
