WRITE FOR POWER
Purpose for this style of writing:
To enhance unity, clarity, and coherence-
The "powers" will keep you on target. You will not ramble because each sentence must explain some preceding power. The first power sentence must serve as the umbrella, the general statement for which the other two sentences provide specifics. Also, each first power sentence must have expressed or implied a word or group of words we will call the Power Word or Words that unlock detail.
To make writing more clear for a reader, a writer often begins second power sentences, or uses somewhere within the sentences, transitions to make the flow of thought easy to follow. In addition to transition words from your list, you may repeat a word or words, or idea from the first power sentence as the transition.
A person will tend to make every type of error in three sentences as he will in thirty; thus, learn to control quality in your writing before you increase the quantity of it.
