this is one of the best pieces of prose-level writing advice i've ever encountered and i wish they'd teach it in elementary schools. i spent SO much time knowing that something like this was what was separating my writing (at the level of diction and sentence structure) from the things i loved to read but not being able to identify it; if i'd run into this it would've cracked off my power limiter in a second. transcript follows after readmore:

this is very good writing advice that I didn't know or think about before but I definitely agree with and will keep in mind in the future because I want to write better

This isn’t usually taught in schools? If I’m remembering correctly, sentence length variation was a 4th grade topic for me….

Hmm, on second thought, I don’t remember it being brought up frequently again until 11/12th grade. Maybe it wasn’t even normal at my elementary school, haha

I don't doubt that at one point a teacher mentioned it, but once middle school started writing became much more formulaic and so much less focused on prose and a greater emphasis on just cookie cutter content. It's quite annoying

Yeah, thinking back, that’s definitely how it went for me as well. Once middle school hit, there wasn’t any more fiction writing, and we switched to entirely writing essays with color-coded Schaffer paragraphs

It really does disappoint me that we arent learning how to write things that exist beyond the purpose of imparting information in the Correct Way. I wish there was fiction writing or even just less standardized "there is only one correct way" essay writing

i guess this is what poetry brings to the table as well? where writing is primarily about conveying a message, poetry also considers the flow of words and the feeling of them?

As an aside, five-word sentences definitely do get boring, but I suppose it matters less when there is some variety in syllable length as well. ''But several together become monotonous'' is a pretty satisfying combination of syllables, despite being one of many five-worded sentences.
