I like the idea of small paragraphs. I enjoy them that way.
And yet I suffer from an illness called long-pharagraphobilia ;(

But all jokes aside, practice helps a lot indeed. English is my 2nd language as well, and I didn't really write until now. So I'm pretty bad at it. But I see some improvements.

This is a huge upside for me, because I always wanted to be more proficient at thinking and writing in english.
