Sometimes once I get started writing- that is, when I sit down in front of the computer (an altogether enjoyable experience, might I add)- I can go on these extremely long sentence runs in which very little or nothing at all happens except that the sheer number of words in it can baffle the mind; at other times, it seems as though my mind does this on purpose just to fuck with me and lead me to believe that one coherent thought can be expressed in one really long sentence when, in fact, it cannot, and I find, quite despite my best efforts, that the use of the comma, as handy as I find it, can become a hinderence to the writing process, as it causes me to use it, against my better judgement, too frequently.
I enjoy creating run-ons.
