Hi everyone, i have a quick question on sentence phrasing, i am writing a timeline, but
i keep writing these long sentences to try and get the point across, is there a better way to
write them so that they give the intended point and are not too long at the same time?
Example : The Battle of Sol - The first major conflict during the invasion of the Solar System. A massive fleet of alien warships invade the inner system and make first contact with humanity. Though humanity beats them back, the aliens unleash a super weapon, taking over much of the technology humanity used, turning it against them. Though the battle ended in a devastating defeat for humanity, their attack had succeeded in damaging the invasion fleet to such an extent that the invasion of the inner worlds was stalled.
How would i take a long paragraph like this, which is actually in the timeline, and make it concise and short?
Thanks!
