Coherence keeps writing together from "summary" of Steering the Craft by Ursula K. Le Guin

Coherence is the quality that keeps a piece of writing together, so that it is clear and makes sense. Without coherence, a piece of writing falls apart, leaving the reader confused and frustrated. Coherence is achieved through careful attention to the connections between sentences, paragraphs, and ideas. One way to ensure coherence is by using logical sequencing. This means organizing your ideas in a way that flows naturally from one to the next. Transitions words and phrases can help guide the reader through your writing, signaling shifts in focus or direction. Consistency in tone and style also plays a role in coherence. Grammar and syntax must be used correctly to maintain coherence. When sentences are poorly constructed or punctuation is incorrect, it can disrupt the flow of the writing. Contextual understanding is another important aspect of coherence. Writers must consider the context in which their work will be read and tailor their writing accordingly. Natural language is key to coherence, as overly complex or convoluted writing can make it difficult for the reader to follow along. Engaging the reader is essential for maintaining coherence, as a bored or disinterested reader is unlikely to continue reading. By paying attention to these characteristics, writers can ensure that their writing is coherent and effectively conveys their intended message.
