- No one talks about emotion as a primary consideration for a good sentence. But I look for whether a good sentence elicits sadness or joy, awe or horror. I don't just want to admire the lines and curves of the prose, I want a string to be plucked deep inside me. An emotionless sentence can look perfectly fine standing on its own, but line them up end to end and they're the death of a book. One sentiment that is often overlooked in beautiful sentences is humor. ☆ welcome to 𝖡ᥣ𝗈𝗈ო'ડ ᑲɑડ౿ო౿𐓣𝗍
