*Mix up the sentence lengths. Never have a bunch of short sentences or long sentences one after the other. Try to keep them the same. Some maybe shorter than others but try not to let too many get too long. *Last but not least, remove any clichés! Replace them with your own expressive style rather than old, boring words. A good example is, “last but not least”.
