The length of a paragraph
I don't like to write long paragraphs, but also don't like short ones. I actually don't know exactly when to cut my phrases, but after seeing a right amount of lines I think "those are enough lines" and then press enter, if not, I'll just continue to write words until it feels right. That's what I'm doing right now. It's not that I'm trying to fill or inflate my writings to fit an specific amount of words, it's more like I try to sort my thoughts in understandable blocks. This helps me to cut trains of thoughts that lose control and doesn't make sense anymore or to put more words to something that needs it.
I started to pay attention to the length of my paragraphs in middle school. In a class (Spanish class) we were learning how to write essays, it was one of my favorite subject and had this great teacher too, I remember she made a observation about my essay: I was making very long paragraphs. It was something I've never thought about but it was true, I didn't know how to stop and looking back, those were really long paragraphs where I wouldn't let go an idea.
It was a bad habit that it was hard to stop, I had to be conscious of stay in the theme and don't ramble until I reach an exorbitant number of lines. I think that's how I learned how to focus more in writing. I think that when you concentrate more in something you start to get immerse in it. I was a little interested in writing at the time, but that focus made me like it even more and wanted to learn how to write better.
Maybe now I make paragraphs shorter than it should be because of my middle school experience, but as for these blog posts, it's just a writing with my thoughts, I don't think it matters as long as I get my point across. It's also practice that helps me experiment with the way I write. I like having this blog as a creative outlet and try little by little to became a better writer.
