How many spaces after a full stop

dorothyd

I said a lot of this on the formatting formatting thread too. PBW you're spending too much time worrying about formatting and not enough time concentrating on telling that cracking story. The fact I have not yet reached that thread means it has dropped like a stone and needs you to go find it. Stop worrying. Start submitting.

I prefer to write mine with a red crayon :D

I can even keep inside the lines when I colour in!

Stan2

You are clever BR - would you like some jelly babies? ;)

Jany

Well, I just can`t imagine a rejection which says "Great story, wonderful narrative, stunning characters and just what we`d love to publish.
IF ONLY you`d put two spaces after the full-stops. Sorry."

boredrobots

Mmmm jelly babies. Thanks Stan!
I can leave sticky fingerprints on my next submission now :D

Jany

But only 2, br!

Lolli

:P

submissions or jelly babies, Jany?

heather

Two fingerprints per page, positioned equidistant from the margins and EXACTLY one third of the way down the page, or your manuscript will be returned unread (although it may have been licked.)

Jany

You took the babies, sorry, the words, right out of my mouth, Heather! Better still, br, enclose a whole packet of the things with your manuscript...

Lolli

:D @ heather

Stan2

Who started this silliness on a serious thread?

Jany

It was br, Sir, br!

Stan2

It was?

Jany

Scroll back up, Sir, scroll up. `T wasn`t me, Sir, honest!

Stan2

Well, I offered BR jelly-babies...

Jany

Well then, YOU started it.

I've just finished a novel and after the last line full stop there was half a page of spaces so I guess it depends.

Stan2

Well done, on finishing the novel ST.
