Both my eye and ear tend to prefer long sentences, but it's true, the writing is often more vivid with shorter, clearer ones.Matthew MacNishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264738483763244969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-9511220710936885542012-06-28T11:32:35.509-04:002012-06-28T11:32:35.509-04:00Yep, I definitely do this all the time.

There are some times that I will construct a sentence and then read it later, thinking, "What?"<br /><br />(Much like that sentence I just wrote.)<br /><br />The best was to write a sentence is the way that leaves you IN the story instead of taking you out of it.<br /><br />Great post!<br /><br />xoxostoryqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039684494823420722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-58332654101716749612012-06-28T10:39:24.361-04:002012-06-28T10:39:24.361-04:00Me too, Jaime, me TOO! :DMe too, Jaime, me TOO! :DChristina Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01799776834213400246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-4816781757121465382012-06-28T10:31:27.031-04:002012-06-28T10:31:27.031-04:00I am terrible about as/ing-ing!
