We don't pay attention to needing punctuation when we speak. But when we write, we never take a 'breath' or pause, and that's how we end up writing.

Instead, we need to deliberately ~pause~ after each thought. Every ~pause~ should have a comma. If we have too many commas, we need to break the long run-ons into short sentences. Even if we make short simple sentences, we can later see if we can combine two small sentences.
