- parents: why are you awake so early
- me: who said i went to sleep
so now that Chris Evans has twitter is he just going to tweet about his daily life?
“just helped a little old lady cross the street”
“just played catch with an orphan”
“just saved a cat from a burning building”
“the cat didnt make it but I smiled and it came back to life”
“then i helped clean up the debris from the burning building”

“ This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals—sounds that say listen to this, it is important.

This might be my favourite quote on writing ever.
