this was a garden path sentence for me...you?
"Breaking News: Biden's poll numbers get stronger, and more" === Biden gets both stronger and more poll numbers somehow?
...multiple seconds of confusion pass...
...Oh. OK. I get it now.

A recently written sentence that I enjoyed, and which required a few minor revisions (by reading it aloud) is in this post.
The sentence is after this one: "April rolls its little showers of rain to May, May brings the days to June."
I wanted a sentence that would then expand on the passage of time from April to June and evoke a simple, early-18th century rural life.

One of the most impressive sentences that I've read was crafted by Joan Didion for her 1966 essay “Some Dreamers of the Golden Dream”.
Some expressions in the sentence show its age, but the build from the banal topics of the opening phrases is so good that the sentence is a short story and character study in itself.
I'll also post one of my own shortly.

Come across any lovely sentences lately? (Definitely count the ones you write yourself!)

This is exactly why I have struggled to adapt my hashtag gong practices to really work on Mastodon. “On top of all that, in-post hashtags feel thirsty. After a decade of Twitter and Instagram, I associate them firmly with spammers and #blessed clout-chasing thinkfluencers, #shoehorning that #pound #symbol into the #middle of #sentences to reach more #eyeballs.” https://www.theverge.com/23673125/mastodon-separate-tags-hashtag-navigation-accessibility

One of the #best #sentences in #American #poetry is in these lines from #RobertFrost's #poem "Directive":
Back out of all this now too much for us,
Back in a time made simple by the loss
Of detail, burned, dissolved, and broken off
Like graveyard marble sculpture in the weather,
There is a house that is no more a house
Upon a farm that is no more a farm
And in a town that is no more a town.

268 followers · 502 posts · Server writing.exchangeI think about sentences in different ways (& probably in different parts of my brain!).
-- As little engines, each moving the plot along: structure & placement are my concern here.
-- As character revelation: I want the reader to know which character is speaking/acting at any given moment.
-- As sound/narrative music: I enjoy playing with sentence flow & cadence.
Ideally, I try to get all 3 to happen at once. 🙂

Like how they can mimic the actions that are happening--like making them quick & explosive or long & meandering according to the action. Not every sentence--that can get tedious--but some. Or else I think about how the construction can mimic the way the narrator thinks.
How do you think about sentences?

With the pocket #calculator we stopped counting, with the#GPS we have lost our sense of #orientation, with #ChatGpt we could lose other #skills, until we no longer know how to form #sentences and #thoughts that make #sense, so much so that #AI takes care of it .. . Avoid #competition with AI
