I don't use italics but I do use CAPITALS to try and create a rhythm. I'm one of those people who hears the text being spoken out loud and writes as if I were delivering a lecture intended to be heard with my very careful inflections and emphasis rather than read.
Although, opposed to that "lecture" voice I have a very hard time breaking up sentences if I feel the concepts need to be understood simultaneously. I don't write Simple Sentence A, Simple Sentence B, Simple Sentence C and instead try to write really complex Sentence ABC. It's as if I don't trust the reader to relate the concepts if they're presented as three distinct textual units.
