So, this week I was assigned to write a labyrinthine sentence, which, believe or not, I have a habit of doing in much of my fictional writing, which has led to countless a-maze-ing sentences which seem to have no end in sight, and ultimately, end in confusion for the reader, and despite my best efforts to clarify my thoughts I often must tear apart my carefully crafted sentences into less stupefying, and hopefully, more clear individual sentences, which I hope allows my readers to grasp what I am saying and get lost in the world I've built without actually getting lost in my sentence.
Anyway, basically a labyrinthine sentence is a sentence that exceeds 100 words in length; often, these sentences will employ rich, descriptive, and sometimes excessive additions along side punctuation that is otherwise used sparsely, such as semicolons, colons, dashes, and parenthesis as means of insurance that the sentence follows appropriate English writing grammar rules, as if it does not, it can no longer be considered sentence by these rules and therefore cannot be called a labyrinthine; however, it should not confuse the reader like a maze would (although it could), rather, it should amaze the reader, and if you are like Nathaniel Hawthorne, make the reader feel as if they have just finished running a marathon.
I think these sentences can be pretty amazing, and are very fun; however, they can easily become clearly trying to expand word length by including multiple lengthy, elaborate, miscellaneous, mosaics of words that truly are repetitive, redundant, and ultimately, unnecessary to the meaning of a sentence; still, they have the potential to be introspective and meta, bringing out the unique art of weaving together a vocabulary of words in a sentence you most likely would actually never speak out loud due to the fact, that, as a human you must breathe; yet, becoming meta they can become increasingly weird, doing something as inserting a link to a picture of a cow, only to have the reader discover it is actually a chicken, only to discover the truth that our reality is a sad place of cheap jokes and gain a strange anger at objectively harmless concepts that have been made to be humorous through their constant use, which has also brought their demise as humor, and developed them into a sad, meta, redundant, repetitive, creature, which constantly evolves by the masses to please the masses.
Anyway, I hope y'all have a great weak.
