no okay but

runon sentences arent good, we were all taught this, if you have a sentecne the length of a paragraph, it gets confusing a lot easier.

BUT

that does NOT mean end every though with a full stop. vareity in sentence legth is good for the quality of your writing and keeps readers attention by adding a little more spice to your syntax.

which of these is better:

She walked along the path. It was dark out. An owl hooted overhead. It was scary. She was in a forest. She kept walking. She eventually came to a bridge. The bridge was lit in a warm glow. She wasn't scared at the bridge.

or

She walked along the dark parth, startling at an owl hooting overhead -- the forest was scarier at night. Eventually, though, she came to a bridge bathed in a warm, yellow light. She felt less afraid, then.

the second one, right? diversity in syntax is important for good quality writing.

feeling called out today
