This is amazing! It makes me think of that anecdote about Joan Didion typing Hemingway's sentences so she could understand their structure. It really is an art, and understanding the foundations is imperative, even if it might seem counterintuitive and overly formulaic at first. I've found that doing this opens up my writing significantly.

Exactly this!! I was thinking the same thing as I read this. An exercise I’m going to put into practice for sure.
