It depends on what you are writing and who is in it. I have characters that speak and think in different patterns because different people speak differently. I have some characters that speak and think in short, rapid sentences and others that meander into the poetic on occasion.

What is right for one character and situation will not fit all of them.

The most important thing that I look and listen for is a natural flow. Sometimes, I read a sentence and remove a word, others I will add one if it improves the natural flow.

I also will reread sections prior to what I am writing before moving on since it seems to add a cohesive flow to the piece.
