I just sat through a seminar about cumulative sentences and it has inspired me to re-visit the opening scene of my novel (yes, still in progress!).

I have heard from a number of sources that clear and concise writing is what we should aspire to. This seems to lean me in the right direction insofar as Freelance Writing is concerned. However, as I try to write a novel, or novella, I find that I need more tools to get my vision across.

I can take advice from a number of sources but should be able to pick and choose which specific pieces of advice to use--or try to use.

Using cumulative syntax may be a road that I should follow.
