Why should we use a variation of sentence types? HELP!?

Question

For a reivew I'm doing on a thriller opening I wrote, I am going to write that I have changed the sentence type quite a lot e.g. declarative etc. I just want to know why it works so I could say, 'I variated the sentence types because...'

Thanks,
Lorna

Answer 1

Variation of sentence types is not always the best way to tell a story. Some authors have distinct writing styles featuring short choppy sentences, while others have long lengthy complex sentences.

From what I believe, a thriller should build suspense and that suspense cannot be drawn out by long lengthy complex sentences. Instead, you should use shorter compound sentences or complex sentences--not so much compound complex sentences because of the length.

Your writing style may differ from others. Remember that a great story may not always follow the strict guidelines of writing... just make sure your sentences and ideas flow from sentence to sentence.

Answer 2

It makes the reading more interesting. And please don't say you "variated" the sentence types. You should say you varied the sentence types.
