I don't have any legato skills; I could never figure out how to roll the notes off.
Transitions are critically important. I want the reader to turn the page without thinking she's turning the page. It must flow seamlessly.
See, there's only two theaters, man that are set up pretty groovy all around for music and for smooth stage changes, good lighting and all that - the Fillmore and The Capitol Theatre. And those are the only two in the whole country.
I like records that flow really well and you don't have to skip around because there's lot of different jumps.
I use the echo effect a lot when I DJ because it allows for smooth transitions, especially at different BPMs. It also adds a studio quality to live DJ performances.
The chief difference between good writing and better writing may be measured by the number of imperceptible hesitations the reader experiences as he goes along.
Nature, like a true poet, abhors abrupt transitions.
When reviewers take the trouble to compliment a writer on her style, it is usually because she has made it easy for them to slide from one sentence to another like an otter down a slope.
