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.
