Reading Response Week #9

Chapter Three - Steering the Craft

When I first saw that the chapter was over sentence length and complex syntax I couldn't help but that that "are you effing serious" reaction. But after reading the chapter I found it really helpful. I guess I had never really though of sentence length relating to the rhythm of the story. Whether the sentences are short, long or varying between the two effecting the rhythm never crossed my mind. But looking back at someone of my work I can see where it gets awkward because I either over whelmed it with too many long sentences or underwhelmed it with too many short sentences.
