Hard to Break Habit

There are several bad writing habits that are easy to pick up on but not so easy to break. Many bad habits include using weak words/adjectives, writing run on sentences, and the use of filler words. Personally, I have a bad habit of writing lengthy paragraphs that really should be separated. Paragraphs should be separated by the topic and should be concise. The reader should be able to follow along easily which is accomplished by good writing techniques, even as simple as good paragraph organization. My bad habit of making paragraphs too lengthy rather than broken up appropriately is a bad habit that I developed starting in high school. This is a habit that I would like to change because it would make my writing that much more effective. Like anything else, practice makes better. If I were to write a certain piece I could help myself break this habit by paying close attention during the revising and editing stage of the writing process and correcting this issue. Peer review would also help to identify lengthy paragraphs that other wise could have been broken up. Changing this one bad habit could have a very positive effect on my writing for not only myself, but the reader whom is it intended for as well.
