My Obsession and Craving for Great Sentences
Bearing in mind that greatness is an opinion, I believe great stories can be
written with nothing but primary-school-level sentences. However, I'd rather
read one great sentence than a whole story written with sentences that could
have been from a ten-year-old. To me, telling stories is easy. Writing well isn't.
That's why I have such an admiration for solitary, dazzling, and awe-inspiring sentences.
Writing such sentences, one after another, is a massive struggle for me.
The difficulty in crafting them makes them even more appealing.
This is one of the reasons I request just one sentence from
interested authors.
