Primary thought (secondary supporting thought [tertiary supporting thought {fucking quaternary supporting thought, we have long since forgotten the primary thought}])

DAE start their parenthetical thought and end up writing full and multiple sentences inside it before returning to the original point?

I try to catch myself and just make a new paragraph when that happens but I'm not always successful.

Guilty, but now I'm considering switching to footnotes¹. They let you express a related thought without disrupting the flow².

¹I blame House of Leaves. Lotta footnotes in there, and they can go a long way before they really get out of hand.

² Sure there are cons, like the fact that the reader has to go to the bottom for context, but there's also no real length limit.

I love the way house of leaves does footnotes, it's basically an entire other book crammed into the same space. I still haven't finished it because I keep getting lost...

I'm stuck at chapter IX, where flipping forward a bit I know I'm going to have to dedicate a serious reading session to, and I just cannot find the time.

Ooh, I like this. I'm in!

Ooooh! I like how you think!

yes, but as far as I'm aware I don't necessarily have ADHD? I do have autism, and there's the suspicion I have ADHD, but I don't have a paradoxical reaction to caffeine and also I've not been tested so who the fuck knows anything. My psychiatrist certainly doesn't think testing is necessary.

All day, every day. Sometimes I will just delete everything and just not reply at all. Which sucks when I actually want to make use of comments and engage in the communities more. So far all the folks on here and the other instances I am on tend to not turn the focus onto my excessive use of parenthesis, and stay on the topic.

I am sure there have been some random one-offs. The only ones I can think of have been more about how I didn't break things into paragraphs vs just one huge wall. Even then, it is obvious that they at least read most of it. And I try to take those the same as telling me I have something on my face vs not. Just depends on how they say it.
