Not quite sure if this is the place for this kind of post, but considering I found a similar post archived on this subreddit, I am not afraid.
So I skip the lines when I write. Why? Because I believe good authors prepare for this. They use words as anchors, as heuristics. That and tone. And tone is sometimes set by the length of the word choices, the paragraph, and that mile long sentence. All of these things add up to form a picture. So when a good author knows when I see a picture of a long paragraph I'm making a decision. if I don't like it, I don't read it, and trust me, if I like it I'm reading it. But if it gets boring count me out.
I didn't pay the $20 or spend the 15 minutes finding the book online to read stuff I don't like. I don't have time for that.
You don't either. Skip the lines of text not worthwhile. You're not missing much. I promise. Its almost as if you never even missed anything at all. Unless you think you can stomach the words on the page. Then the decision is tricky. Was it worthwhile? Stomaching the supposed garbage. The discussion could go on for days.
Instead: TL;DR: I don't read certain parts of books because just like this TL;DR heuristics I have to make a choice about what to read and I know, we know, what we like to read.
