I love writing long paragraphs--sometimes with long sentences. "I write this article now because as an editor for ILLUMINATION and our mirror-image, I see many good articles that are worthy of search engine hits that won’t receive them unless I either revise the SEO description myself, which I often do, particularly if I feel the article has substance (I try to pick and choose what I edit accordingly — I do no one any service being a queue-clearer), or bring it to the writer’s attention to do themselves so they will learn. If I do it for them I do not feel they learn even when I point out that I did so."
