Question about paragraph/sentence style and structure.

0 Dear readers:02br

00I was texting my friend a message yesterday and it came out like:01blockquote
00A lady at a bookstore hung up on me five times today. So I drove all the way to talk with her. It turns out they had been scammed by someone using relay months ago. So I taught her what to do when getting a strange relay call. Explained differences between IP-relay, state relay etc. Because she's the manager, she notified all bookstores in the region to be conscious of deaf people using relay. This will help deaf here a lot with relay calls to Waldenbooks or Borders bookstores.12br
12blockquote
10For some reason I feel like the sentences start/end abruptly, resulting in a bumpy read. I noticed a reduntant usage of "So" in "So I drove" and "So I taught". Furthermore, something feels erronous about the transition. Example: "Because she's the manager" is usually grammatically unacceptable in English courses because of the word "Because" at the beginning of the sentence.02br

00What can I do with my paragraph/sentence style and structure to make it more condensed and flow more efficiently?0-
