| Jul 23, 2016 at 22:02 | comment | added | Lisa Beck | A journalism instructor once advised me and my fellow students to keep our sentences to 30 words or fewer. This is advice that has served me well many a time. Often when I find a sentence I've written hard to read or understand, it is because it is too long. Chopping the sentence down, like the pruning of a tree, does wonders for clarity and understanding. You will read well crafted sentences of more than 30 words, so it is not a hard and fast rule, but it is advice that may serve you well. | |

Try starting a new sentence every once in a while, it will make your sentence(s) much easier to read :) | |
