Akirlu's Tips For Better Writing

Write shorter sentences, and more of them.

This advice won't help everyone, but it does address two of my most consistent failings, namely: (1) trying to pack an entire paragraph of related thought into a single sentence, instead of letting everyone catch a breath or two at the full stops (you're soaking in it), and (2) writing gnomic précises of what I mean to say, rather than just figuring out what I mean to say and saying that. When I re-write, often I find myself turning single sentences into three or four much shorter ones.
