3. every sentence is its own paragraph. How annoying.

a thought:
I know journalists routinely use shorter paragraphs to make for faster reading. The little indents make the writing flow visually faster. But that doesn't work when you make every dang paragraph just one sentence long. The guiding principle is that it's supposed to bunch up the narrative into smaller & more quickly digestible bites of data.

But you lose that benefit when you overwork the enter key like this. It's like eating an entire plate of spaghetti one noodle at a time. You lose the experience of savoring a full meal instead.
