I'm a young writer and because no one in my family likes writing I've been looking for tips on the internet. Thanks to your videos and tips I've been able to construct my story! Thank you very much
That's great! I’m so happy the videos are helping. Please let me know if there is a specific topic you’d like me to cover. I’m proud of you for sticking with it. Keep powering up your storytelling!
Fantastic question, @dianahaugh7521. Choppy sentences are jarring and don't flow well with the sentences around them. They are more abrupt. A snappy sentence may be brief, but it flows organically from the one that came before and leads well into the next. I know that's not the clearest explanation, but keep in mind that, in an action scene, ALL your sentences don't need to be super short. You can, and should, use a variety of lengths. Just avoid lots of longer ones, especially with multiple commas, em dashes, or ellipses. Break those into individual sentences where possible and if the story still flows well. (I hope that helps.)

Welcome back! I missed seeing you in the comments. 😉 How was college? Are you finished or just on summer break?

Thanks for the great video.
Glad you liked it!
I hear that choppy sentences should be avoided. What’s the difference between a choppy and a snappy sentence?
