Your original question was about how to avoid writing complex sentences, and, as a couple of people have already intimated, perhaps you shouldn't. As I mentioned, I struggle with the same problem. I resolve it with editing, which I haven't done much of for my current work. Every time I re-read it, I look for opportunities to trim words, re-write a sentence, or "tighten things up". The re-writes of your passage provided by **Chris Johns** and **RamblingChicken** above are, to my view, excellent representations of what you _wanted_ to say. Using the guidance they provide, you can arrive at the same final product; something you'll be happy with.
