theoretically I knew that chapters don’t all have to be about the same length. Eric {Flint} made it real to me... Five hundred word scenes became chapters. A single telegram became a chapter... I discovered this was a technique that would make a particular scene or elements in that scene stand out and be more memorable than they would have been had they been buried in longer chapters.

The same technique can be used with paragraphs or sentences.
