Hi all, Julie here! This is the second post in a series. If you want to read them in order, the first post was Building Blocks of a Novel: Word Choice. The central analogy of this series compares writing a novel to constructing a city. If words are the bricks, then sentences are the walls. They provide support and structure, but they also control how a building is experienced. High ceilings, narrow passageways, walls of glass and steel--change these things and the whole building changes. In the same way, each sentence makes a difference, and each must be deliberately crafted.
