non-linear writing patterns harness your natural inclination to 'wander off' to explore other aspects of an idea in your own way.
The reader can jump from node to node and back again.
Clicking to dive into areas that interest them along the way.
Large swathes of text? Aint nobody got time for that anymore.
non-linear writing cuts prose into small chunks the modern distractable reader can digest.
Like a child skipping and jumping from rock to rock across a stream. Then going back and then forward in their own haphazard way.
This interaction increases engagement with the text and keeps the readers attention.
