When Extremely Average Is Anything But

I’ve been thinking a lot about good writing lately.
Trying to read it as well, but thinking about it even more. And I have a feeling – no, I’m certain – you can blame Ann Wylie for that.
Ever since I attended this brilliant woman’s wunderbar writing workshop a few weeks ago, I’ve been trying to pay attention to not just the words I use, but the picture they paint – not just figuratively, but literally.

Am I using the optimal number of words in a sentence (14), and in a paragraph (42) to draw aforesaid gentle reader in?
Am I using alliterative triads to their fullest potential? (Paragraph 3, Sentence 4: yes, I am).
