#2: Initial revision
In addition to Monica's great suggestions for structure once you've located the problem, you need to develop a way to find all the problem sentences. Either at the beginning or end of every writing session, search through your new text and look for _and_. Look at every pair of clauses you've joined and highlight them. Then go back and start rebuilding them, not using the same fix twice in a row if you can help it. Whether you do this at the beginning when you're fresh (and you want to get back into the story, and can look at your work with a little distance) or at the end when you've run out of steam (so you feel like you've put it to bed for the night) is entirely dependent on your personal workflow.
