“But we can consciously break our tendencies.” Thank you for reinforcing this and encouraging it! I had (have?) a tendency to write horribly long sentences (blame my early addiction to the Victorians). I had also convinced myself this was a feature, not a bug. How wrong I was. Some humility has taken me a long way in forcing myself to at least try to recast those old sentences to a different beat. And I’ve discovered so many more powerful possibilities for my lines since then.
This is so good. Sometimes we can't see our tendencies. It's like trying to see the back of your own head. We need good readers for this sometimes.
Thanks. We surely do! 🌺

Humility helps us all, Tayyba!🌺
