sorry to do this, but we need to talk more about PARAGRAPHS
Everyone talks about the sentence, but my true love is the paragraph
Reading the writers I love, the paragraphs all have a wholeness, an ease that makes the work what it is
When I look at novice/just starting out writers, there is always something off about their paragraphs--they have huge ones usually and aren't sure where to end them
They are jamming 12 ideas in one paragraph or their paragraphs are too flimsy, with no center of motion or POV
Paragraphs are the way we ground the reader in a coherent and digestible bite of experience, they should be intentional, no sentence out of play. TY for coming to my TED talk
