Adding Variety to your Sentences

If your writing becomes monotonous, you may need some variety among your sentences. If you use the same sentence structure more than twice in a row, your readers may become bored. You can mix things up by adding a particularly long sentence, allowing your prose to flow and swirl as you explore an idea in depth, but what can you do after that? Sentence fragment! Break the rules to give your paragraphs some zip.

Hi Brent,
You have rightly said that to avoid monotonous style, the writer has to bend the rules or even break them to come up with some interesting writings. Thank you for sharing!
