This is something I do a lot.  And I had an argument with someone about it being incorrect:

Beginning a sentence with a conjunction

It offends those who wish to confine English usage in a logical straitjacket that writers often begin sentences with ?and? or ?but.? True, one should be aware that many such sentences would be improved by becoming clauses in compound sentences; but there are many effective and traditional uses for beginning sentences thus. One example is the reply to a previous assertion in a dialogue: ?But, my dear Watson, the criminal obviously wore expensive boots or he would not have taken such pains to scrape them clean.? Make it a rule to consider whether your conjunction would repose more naturally within the previous sentence or would lose in useful emphasis by being demoted from its position at the head of a new sentence.

I know most of these, but it makes a good reference. Thank you.
