"moreover" and "in addition to" are the kind of connectors that occur to us when we think of another idea as we are writing. It often happens that as you are writing one idea in support of a point, another one pops into your head, and then another one. In the urgency to get them down before they fly our of you head, you end up tacking them onto your existing paragraph or sentence structure with connectors. That is fine for making sure that you record these points before you loose them. But now you have a paragraph structure that was designed to support one point that in now supporting three points strung together with connectors. The way you fix this is to re-architect the paragraph to support three points. This could be as simple as beginning: > Blah blah blah for each of the following reasons: > > 1. Blah > 2. Blah blah > 3. Blather blather blather In other words, the solution is to go back and create the structure you would have created in the first place if you had realized you were going to have this many points to make when you started.
