Comparing with what I started with, my writing (from a Flesch-Kinkaid perspective) seems to have become more difficult to read. However, it is still easier to read than the Harvard Law Review, though less easy to read than an insurance form. The dissertation has grown in size, but it has also shed some references suggesting that more interpretative or bracketing sentences have been put in. More paragraph breaks have been inserted, and each word has gotten beefier.
