vorpalgirl:writingbox:A very useful demonstration of the importance of sentence length. Took me years to figure this out on my own, so I’m sharing this beautifully-demonstrated advice with every other writer out there who hasn’t already arrived at the same conclusion. Short, simple sentences do have their place, even used repeatedly; but it has a very specific feel. Robotic, or child-like; limited – as if the thoughts they express are themselves constrained. The ebb and flow of sentence length is as important as the words you choose. Perhaps more so. So always keep it in mind. :) -- source link
