Sentence Fluency
Sentence fluency is the rhythm and flow of the
language, the sound of word patterns, the way in
which the writing plays to the ear—not just to the
eye.
Words are but the vague shadows of the volumes we mean. Little
audible links, they are, chaining together great inaudible feelings and
purposes.
~Theodore Dreiser, 1900

Conventions
Conventions are the grammar, spelling, punctuation,
paragraphing and capitalization that readers come to
expect in good writing.
They make writing easy to read and understand.
This trait requires writers to learn editing and
proofreading skills.
