A simple sentence consists of a subject, a verb, and a predicate. When a reader must do research in attempt to find each of these three, then you have already lost your reader.

Regarding paragraphs:

A typical paragraph will begin with the point. A brief explanation of the point follows, and a summary of the point will end the paragraph. Often, a paragraph will contain only three sentences; though there is room in the "rules" for variance. If, however, your point is hidden within a "wall of text" and is not easily discernable, then once again you have already lost your reader.

A hundred words strung together with elipses (...) does not a sentence make.

The written English language: love it, embrace it, own it.
