Excuse me for not using paragraphs.
Do you know the function of a paragraph, which people so encourage me to use more often? It's a device used in literature and writing that separates ideas. It's meant to help give specific meaning to a section of words.
Why do we have to use them though? Why can't we just write what comes out of our mouths and put it down on the paper? Why can't I just start punching the keys and end where I feel I should end?
I don't know about you but I'm starting to get annoyed by these paragraphs.
After all, a paragraph is meant to separate ideas, and so far I've had a lot of ideas to separate.
I like just writing words and leaving them all together, because to me they mean nothing on their own. It's like you pick up a book and then put it down, pick up another one and put it down, and do it again and again and again.
What happens when a random ideas comes and separates two sentences that would otherwise be in the same paragraph?
The reason I leave my words all in one big chunk is because they are all related to each other.
That is why when I write I don't see separate ideas, different parts for some big machine. I see a passage, flowing from the start to the end like a mighty river, the constant tide, the rising and setting of the sun.
I could use two words to describe how I feel about paragraphs, but I'll leave that out of here, for the sake of the children.
I hate you paragraphs, you turn writing into a monster and dissect it while it's still alive, mangling it and slowly killing it.
This is what it looks like when you use paragraphs properly, so please, tell me how wonderful they are now?
