One thing you can do to improve your writing is to avoid starting each new sentence with linking words because too many of these can make your writing monotonous and fragmented.

One way to improve your writing is to use fewer linking words to begin sentences; too many of these can make your writing monotonous and fragmented.

This edit was prompted by a very strong distaste for "because" in a sentence that has more than one verb (in this case "avoid" and "starting"). The word "starting" here is a gerund, i.e., verb used as a noun, but its verb-ness means that a "because" clause can modify it. Thus, without context, we don't know whether "because" modifies "avoid" or "starting." Relying on context is useful, but, like linking words, it should be used as rarely as possible, because the brain's language processor is slowed by the need to disambiguate.

Just getting rid of "because" revealed other ways to make the paragraph more succinct, always a useful exercise.
