I've seen enough topics that are just one huge block of sentences all smashed together. It's hard to read and really annoying. I am positive that I'm not the only one who thinks that members need to learn how to divide their sentences in to paragraphs.

A good way to look at it is once you change subjects make a new paragraph.

Example :

You make a topic about Cockatoos. First you decided to talk about their diet and make a paragraph for that specific piece of topic. Let's say next you decide to talk about their physical appearance, now, that's where you would make a new paragraph.

Remember, paragraphs help make your entire topic flow smoothly, makes it more enjoyable to read and people tend to avoid cluttered texts. ;D

Please give me your honest opinions about this and reply with manners.

Agreed completely. Even worse is when fanfictions look like that.

I agree too, and I'm one of the culprits XD

Thanks for mentioning that though Emily, it will make me more careful in the future-as long as i remember XD

I agree 100%.

Honestly, if it's too long, I won't even bother to read it and I'm sure it's the same thing with other people too. My head starts hurting and I just give up. XD

The enter button can be a wonderful thing. :O

I'm the other culprit that has two fanfics like that,but I have re-edited them,because I thought people would read them,but I guess they don't because they're too busy,or aren't up to it.

its true, normally if they are all smooshed together, i dont even bother to read them, i could relate to that part about people being less likely to read them.
