To address the issue of the complex subject (compound or otherwise), my beverage rule is what works rules. Specifically, in today's post I refer to what Brooks Landan describes as the movement of a sentence from clause to phrase, step by step. The danger of a long subject is the sentence holds still for all those many words, waiting to move forward. Movement within a sentence creates ease in following the meaning.

That makes good sense. I'll keep that wisdom close in my revisions.
