Using run-on sentences to show state of mind is a well-accepted literary device of long standing, as you have demonstrated. But you have not demonstrated that great writers spelled words incorrectly, or violated the rules of tense or subject-verb agreement, or misused words that sounded like the word they wanted, but had a different meaning. Nor have you demonstrated that great writers turned nouns into verbs, e.g. "to incent" or "to impact." My point being that there are some rules which may be bent, but none which may be broken.
