Kindle Notes & Highlights
If the paragraph forms part of a larger composition, its relation to what precedes, or its function as a part of the whole, may need to be expressed. This can be done sometimes by a mere word or phrase (again; therefore; for the same reason) in the topic sentence. Other times, however, it is expedient to precede the topic sentence by one or more sentences of introduction or transition. If more than one such sentence is required, it is generally better to set apart the transitional sentences as a separate paragraph.
Though I would add, apply this practice after you have brainstormed and madly spat your ideas on to the paper. Review it, think, rearrange it, think again, maybe walk away from the pen, don't over-analyse and read it aloud.
