You might be a writer if you think about sentences.
I mean, really think about them--what makes them strong, what makes them sing, what they're saying (as well as what they're not saying). . . .
"A beautiful sentence is a beautiful sentence."
-Francine Prose (Reading Like a Writer)
and
". . . if you are even thinking in these terms--that is, if you are even considering what might constitute strong, vigorous, energetic, and clear sentences--you are already far in advance of wherever you were before you were conscious of the sentence as something deserving our deep respect and enraptured attention."
So think about it: the structure, the diction, the pacing, the flow, the subtext.
(Think about 10,000 of these and you might even have a novel.) ;)
There's no rule that says every sentence must dance across the page, but if you can, make it beautiful. The discerning reader will notice.
Be Brilliant!
