A Word On Paragraphs
Rule of Thumb: 1 single idea (with support) per paragraph. White space before & after a paragraph defines units of thought. White space makes your work reader friendly. Think without paragraphs, ideas blur together different ideas so that a potential clear communication is confused. How long should a paragraph be? As long as a piece of string.
