warpednormal's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - life is quite terrible right now, but, read this : � This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It�s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals�sounds that say listen to this, it is important. So write with a combination of short, medium, and long sentences. Create a sound that pleases the reader�s ear. Don�t just write words. Write music. � 7:34 a.m. - 2011-09-19 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
