“What the young writer needs to do, of course, is study sentences, consciously experiment with them," says John Gardner in The Art of Fiction. We all know it's important to vary sentence length, but how to go about it? Episode 18 of the Quarantine Quill brings you an auditory experiment to help change things up.

The Quarantine Quill is a creative writing podcast hosted by Anna Polonyi with the Paris Institute for Critical Thinking. The podcast will be bringing you a daily writing tip and prompt for as long as PICT's creative writing events are on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Mentioned in this episode: John Gardner, The Art of Fiction (1983).

Music: Carole Cassier.
