Run-on sentences vs fragmented ones
Hello - I'd like to know how I would introduce a series of items without making a run-on sentence or without making sentence fragments. For example I want to says something similar to this:
Folders filled with useless outdated papers. Binders and books that you haven't opened in years. Pens that no longer work and some that have even exploded and made ink puddles. This is not what a nicely kept desk should look like.
How would you say all that? Like that? is that not sentence fragments? OR in one long run-on sentence!?!? I've looked at it so much it doesn't even make sense anymore...
thanks ;-)
