Excerpt

The easiest way to add rhythm to your writing is to vary sentence length.

Short sentences speed things up, and long sentences slooooooowwwwww things down.
Every sentence should follow from the one before it, lead into the one after it, and connect with the paragraph’s topic sentence.
Read your writing out-loud, and mark the places where you stumble.
A sentence that’s easier to translate is also easier to understand.
Good writing packs a tremendous amount of information in a small number of words.
