Paragraphing is part of the visual presentation of your writing. Paragraphs are so important in writing; good paragraphing helps the reader understand and enjoy your writing. They can require a considerable amount of thought and effort to get right.
There are some basic principles to paragraphing.
• A new paragraph is signalled by starting a new line AND either indenting slightly OR leaving a blank line. Choose one style and stick to it throughout your writing.

• Try and keep your paragraphs of consistent lengths. An average paragraph should be between 4 and 7 sentences long. This is an AVERAGE and so it will not matter if you occasionally have a slightly longer or shorter paragraph.
This is very basic. There is a lot of complex explanations and rules of paragraphing. I have only mentioned the very obvious here for the Newbies. Also, I have picked up the points from an article posted here.
