Structure each sentence (and clause) to achieve a structure that tells a story and connects it to those around it.

Everything that can be thought at all can be thought clearly. Everything that can be said can be said clearly.

--Ludwig Wittgenstein

A sentence tells a story, just the shortest one possible.

If the reader is to grasp what the writer means, the writer must understand what the reader needs

--Gopen & Swan, 1990
