Writer’s Wisdom -Rule #48- Vary Sentence Structure and Type

Writer’s Wisdom -Rule #48- Vary Sentence Structure and Type. “Words are the ingredients. How you measure and combine them are as important as the words themselves. Usually, the natural rhythms of speech will take care of variety. But when you undertake line edits and read aloud, you may spot a repeated structure, long strings of prepositional phrases, or sentences that run the same length. These will blunt your rhetoric.”
