In his book Writing Tools, Roy Peter Clark says journalists should avoid using long rambling sentences when smaller ones will do.
“Jesus wept,” is an example of a powerful short sentence, he writes.
I’ve been taking a few days off to give my brain time to recharge. I’m tempted to tell you about the three books I read in two days, the big pile of magazines that’s now a smaller one, the movies that are no longer on my to-see list, and friends who aren’t wondering if I’m dead or alive.
But, in keeping with Clark’s advice, I’ll leave you with a small sentence instead:
Mridu slept.
