True, there are many ways to write.
Don’t get the idea that short articles are the only solution. If that was true, I wouldn’t write 15,000-word essays like this one.

By the time I hit publish, I want nothing but CLEAR sentences.
CLEAR stands for:
1) Connect to the previous sentence.
2) Link to the following sentence.
3) Eliminate anything that adds confusion.
4) Add colorful details.
5) Remove unnecessary words.
