You mean allow yourself a run on sentence now and then, or a sentence fragment here and there? Some inventive spelling? How about a dangling participle? Just please oh please shy away from excessive use of the past perfect tense. That's like dragging fingernails across blackboards to me. It is just plain old wrong. All the rest I use liberally in freewrites (I haven't been able to freewrite for a long time now) and resist the urge to fix them during proofreading. I do fix incorrect past perfect tense use though.
