I've always written similar to this. In college, I always spent most of my writing time on the opening paragraph. Then I just turned each sentence into a paragraph (if it isn't important enough to warrant a paragraph, why is it in the opening paragraph?) and added a conclusion. Admittedly, this doesn't work for large papers (I think 5 pages is probably a reasonable limit), but I try to avoid writing large papers whenever possible.
