RE: Split trousers? Split your sides.

Great to hear from you once again. You are really inspiring me to keep on keeping on. My aim is to graduate from being a minnow and I guess that by keeping on writing regularly and engaging readers like you is what you would advise me to do.
If you have any other tips please advise me.

Although I have always enjoyed writing in its many different forms, being on Steemit is enabling me to write more easily and spontaneously.
I am flattered by your evaluation and very grateful.
I think you are expressing yourself well and will gain more and more readers as you go along.
Keep up the good work.

LOL. Don't be flattered. I am a pretty stern critic and wouldn't say anything that I don't mean.

I actually wanted to ask you about one particular language construct that I cannot avoid but using. At the same time, somehow I rarely see it used by native speakers.

It would be my pleasure to help in any way that I can.

Thank you so much, @justjoy!

Here is the question I wanted to ask you... Below you can see a snippet of text. Please take a look at the highlighted sentence. As you can see I started it from "yet." At the same time, I've never seen that you've started a sentence in this way in your writing. How would you go about it in a similar context?

Thank you!

In the elevator, there was a young man who smiled at her. He was what she imagined an ideal man: tall, dark and handsome, trim, and of athletically built, with a soft, one might even say, gentle eyes, with a fresh haircut and nicely dressed. The smell of his expensive cologne pleasantly tickled her nostrils. His light clothes, although cost a good penny, even if it was a good Chinese imitation. Yet, in cases like these, Vera had an expert eye. She could easily peak out the difference between Guangzhou and Milan.
