Writing Tip: Your verbal tools of thought are very much part of writing craft
You also need to know some of the subtleties of writing: where to use short, punchy sentences, where to use long rambling sentences. A sentence can be very short: He ran. Or very long: They came over the long winding dirt trail that traversed the high ridges of the mountain to gaze down on a panorama of absolute beauty: the gentle, rolling green tall-grass-covered slopes, the fir trees swaying with gentle grace in a westerly wind….et.cetera… These are all part of the craft of writing. Word; the words you use, your tools of verbal thought, are all part of the craft of writing. Moreover, the more words you know and can bring forward into your mind as you write, the more precise and accurate is the message you bring to the readerâs mind.
