Guess that’s what happens when you make the shift from Science to the Arts. Sentences become long drawn and elaborate. Verbosity is absolutely the norm. Objectivity takes a backseat. The Webster has to be dragged out. No time for regrets – got to keep reading… sigh.

interesting you say this!
I have the opposite experience. Professional science writing forces you to crystallize your thoughts and be succinct (devoid of emotion). That helps me in the non-science writing!
Yes, long-winded sentences are a bore. I can slash four lines of a paper and replace with a short half line sentence. (need lotsa red hue pens)

Science
Science is of more facts and less fiction. Arts on the contrary, are more of fiction and less of facts. Facts are easy to explain since they are mainly objective where as fiction is difficult to explain since it is very much subjective. Both need imagination and innovation. Both co-exist, not opposites or rivals. There is lot of science in music.
