When it comes to my enemies - and make no mistake, I have a long Enemies List - I will gladly leap at any excuse to trash them. Even though the conventional wisdom is that you should ignore your critics, take the high road, and politely overlook their excesses, that is not the road that I take. The high one. What?
I'm sorry. You may have noticed from my new article, I am experimenting with this awesome thing about really long sentences, because I feel that they make me look smart. The longer the sentence, the more likely it is that the reader will get lost along the way, which makes them think that you must just be so smart that they can't even follow what you are saying.
It's a great tip I picked up somewhere, doesn't matter where, okay it just occurred to me when I was reading something and I kept getting lost and I realized it's because the author's sentences were just super long and confusing with lots of twists and turns and have I mentioned how much I like a good old-fashioned blackberry crumble? Or buckle. Anything with berries and baked batter is okay in my book.
Plus it makes me feel really smart, to be able to construct a sentence - a thought - longer than usual, spinning out like a gorgeous, I don't know, something really, like… wait, I got lost.
