I realize a lot of this comes from being a non-native English speaker from a language that looooves its subordinate clauses, but subordinate clauses aren't bad or scattershot and there's nothing inherently wrong with them.

English has just decided that the period point is the only acceptable punctuation for stylish writing and I have to disagree. I promise a thought can have more than one part and still be valid.

The number of novels in the world written in a single sentence is enough to have a top three and still argue about it.
