"There are no rules. You can write a story, if you wish, with no conflict, no suspense, no beginning, no middle, or end. Of course, you have to be regarded as a genius to get away with it, and that's the hardest part—convincing everybody you're a genius."
From Walt Sheldon's "My Friend Fredric Brown," reprinted in The Big Book of Noir
, edited by Ed Gorman, Lee Server and Martin H. Greenberg. I love that Brown kept a flyswatter within reach.
