Everything is measured. Our hours, our days. Our clothes and our homes. The portions we eat. The mattresses we sleep on.
Writing must be measured also.
If I am writing about action. Adventure. Strong emotion. I want the sentences short. Quick. To the point.
If I am writing about a warm summer's day I could write sentences which weave through the page, exploring all the nuances of summer and how it feels to be alive on such a glorious day.
Life is measured. So must our writing be.
