I'm writing the first draft of a story, I've found that increasingly, I'm writing sentences in a format (I don't know the technical name of this) similar to below - > Coming to a stop at the foot of the dias, he knelt. > > Raising his right fist to his heart, he said. > > Leading the crowd, he strode through. While doing a cursory reading, the sentences felt strange and jarring to me but I'm not sure. Are sentences of these type OK or should I refrain from using sentences of that type ? Also, how to make them more...crisp, perhaps ?
