Writing Lite Tip 2: One clause sentences. Two at the most

Long, languorous sentences make it difficult for the reader to follow, unless he or she is a very patient reader. Most readers aren’t, sorry to say.

They’re interested in story. Not the prose you’ve so carefully crafted.

So, make it easy for your readers. Limit your sentences to easily understood thoughts. Each sentence should add to the narrative, character description, or action. More sentences with fewer words are easier to digest than long, winding sentences.
