A sentence starts out like an unhatched egg; it could turn out to be a newborn chick or somebody’s omelette. It’s the writer’s job to choose the fate of the egg, and hopefully he doesn’t crack under pressure. A sentence that is terribly structured or without meaning is a hollow egg – a good writer wants to produce an egg full of nutrients to either help the chicken or the breakfast platter. A good cook also adds spices (word choice) to make his food taste great, and a farmer will make a comfortable environment for hens to lay eggs (writing without distractions).
I suppose the egg must be fertilized to be a chick. Or heated to become an omelette.
