in The New Trend in Online News Writing? on danielmiessler.com | grep understanding

Hmmm.... Thanks for the post. I work a lot with line breaks. They are crucial in poetry. There words not only function as highly focused lenses but over lap fields of perception and understanding and oscillate harmonics of meaning and inference so the placement of each on the page must be carefully considered. Sorry to get so heady. Just didn’t feel like wasting time dumbing the idea down although, as you point out, it’s the fashion. Too bad if people are offended at having to think twice, or once. The fact is that line breaks do not automatically turn prose into poetry … or better prose … an assumption made by a lot of people these days. Misused, line breaks are more likely to render, what might even be, readable prose into pretentious, self-conscious drivel.
