Strategies to make my novel more powerful:

        Must have: Introduction, development and end or present, past, future.

        Punctuation matters: , . ; : " " ? ! ( ) [ ] …  / — capital letters, underline words.

        Use either opposites or repetition or rhymes or same category words or nouns or/and verbs mainly, or use the unexpected end.

        Avoid articles.

        Try to avoid; Subject + verb + object
