#WritersCoffeeClub 14: Should you avoid sentence fragments?
Fragments are a matter of style, and I use them sometimes, so I won't say they're bad or should be avoided as a rule. If anything else, they're a writing tool like any other.
For it to work, I think there should be a balance between style and readability, though. If the sentence feels too choppy, it may bother readers instead of creating the desired effect.
