Your writing should always be musical, if it isn’t, then I’m sorry for everything
Hey how are you doing? You read a 5-word sentence. Oh look you redid it. Oh wait an actual minute. It is all five words. Now you may be wondering. What’s he trying to prove? What I’m trying to say? It all sounds the same. All the sentences sound same.

Yeah I’m not making the entire thing up, unless and until your writing has ups and downs in it,
it will always sound monotonous.
Why though?
Writing is an art form, first and foremost, are we agreeing on that much?
Now every art form requires expression.
Try it yourself if possible
Try to write 2 paragraphs all by yourself, in the first paragraph, write all the sentences using a specific number of words
In the second however,
mix things up.
Start with 5 words, then go for 7 words, then suddenly go down to 3, then push it up and go for 9.
Try to think of yourself as a conductor of an orchestra
but only this time
you’ve gotta improvise, start to finish.
