**WARNING: OPINIONATED.
Short sentences are terrible for action beats.

Apart from separating or joining clauses, punctuation tells a reader where to breathe. Short sentences are like someone pressing pause repeatedly on a film. Action beats shouldn't allow readers to breathe, or be subjected to stilted narrative which short sentences do so well.

They're great for reveals, stream of consciousness. The pauses build tension. But adrenaline should flow.

Understanding Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Sources in Writing

Understanding primary, secondary, and tertiary sources is essential for writers to enhance credibility and clarity in their work. Primary sources are firsthand accounts, secondary sources provide analysis, and tertiary sources summarize information. Choosing the right type of source ensures accuracy and helps distinguish fact from opinion, ultimately building trust with readers.

Unless there is a lot of money on the table or some other demonic deadline, don't lose sleep over writing. It's not healthy. There's no advantage to stressing yourself out and making yourself miserable while writing a book.
