Prior art on writing line oriented prose comes from one B. Kernighan, no less! Via this blog post:

https://rhodesmill.org/brandon/2012/one-sentence-per-line/

> Start each sentence on a new line. Make lines short, and break lines at natural places, such as after commas and semicolons, rather than randomly. Since most people change documents by rewriting phrases and adding, deleting and rearranging sentences, these precautions simplify any editing you have to do later.

— Brian Kernighan, 1974
