LOL ... when writing a novel, I have to constantly fight the ‘too long’ demon, becauseun-on sentences can magically switch to pettifoggery, too quickly, and too often, detracting from the story line and confusing the reader who is kind enough to read the darn things. [See?]
I love it!
I try to alternate: occasional lengthy but elegant sentences, frequent short and pithy ones.
Long sentences are an art form, if done smoothly. A literate reader can appreciate such.
