   ironically, the post should have a semicolon rather than a colon.

   Scene: I’m making a paragraph, should I write two sentences with one semicolon in each, or should I just go with the four sentences.

   I always go with the latter. Of course, as you can see, I make run on sentences; I should reconsider my approach.
