Would you please rewrite this using short declarative sentences as, say, Ernest Hemingway might have written it?

I have a MS and am currently writing a novel but I am having great difficulty following your post.

Agreed. Some good ideas in the article, but the blog writer needs to take a writing course. Making every sentence a "power sentence" is poor style and very hard to successfully pull off -- Shakespeare could do it (but didn't do it all the time); Ayn Rand over-did it; William F. Buckley knew how to do it, but tempered it by doing it only when necessary to make the proper impact.

One theme per paragraph, developed properly and with one dominant "theme sentence," is easier for most people to do. Once there is more experience -- developing writing skill is very much like building a muscle -- a writer can begin to experiment with diversifying his style.
