Poynter's Roy Peter Clark is a strong advocate of keeping things short, but in this post he writes that it's all right to break that rule on occasion and take the reader on a short journey of discovery: "Care must be taken with the long sentence of course, the care of craft, because mastery of the long sentence is an arrow in the quiver of almost every writer I admire. As always, the exercise of craft begins not with technique but a sense of mission and purpose."
