When I think of things that I was always taught to refrain from in writing one really big one comes to mind instantly. This rule is not to ever start a sentence out with a conjunction. Sometimes it just feels right to start a sentence out with one of these words. I'm no authority by any means in literature and writing, but I have noticed in different books and other pieces of literature where authors have started sentences this way.
On the other end of the spectrum, I've also been told over and over again about staying away from run on sentences. I guess there's sort of a fine line between the two of these ideas. Sometimes I find myself trying to write a new sentence so I can avoid the run on, and it sounds the best to me to start with a conjunction. I guess it's something to work on.
