To be fair the sentence was 1107 words long. That's what I would like to hear from you guys on, sentence length. From what I have read, writers can have quite strong opinions in this area. If you're pro-short sentences you are described as falling in the Hemingway camp, and if you enjoy reading/writing longer sentences you are put in the Faulkner camp. Varying sentence length can make for better reading, but when do you all think one is getting too long (or too short)? We've all heard shorts are better in action sequences while longs are permissible in descriptions.
I understand that 1107 is somewhat crazy, but I had to see if I could do it and then make any sense out of it.
Do you guys have any favorite long or short sentences? Do you not care so long as you know what's going on?
