Quote by Circle_Something
Ah, I see. Here's some good advice (for those who don't know): don't use Google Chrome to post poems.
I have been using Chrome since I started on this site, without a problem...not sure I understand anything you said there btw...
How does the browser affect line spacing, if you're copying from MS Word, or whatever? It seems to me that the line spacing is whatever you have set in your word processor, and has nothing to do with your choice of browser...
On a somewhat related note...I know the default settings in MS Word always add extra spacing, and a space between paragraphs...the first thing I do when I open a new word doc, is to go to the spacing thingy, and move the check mark from 1.15 to 1.0, and then uncheck where it says "Add space before paragraph"...
After that, I set my font thingy to Times New Roman 12...give the doc a title, and click "Save"...and continue clicking "Save" after every paragraph from then on btw...

7 Formatting Errors That Make Your Book Look Unprofessional
by Joel Friedlander
More and more writers are taking advantage of the new tools of publishing to create and publish their own books. This has led to an explosion of creativity, as writers are able to move their own books to market without the long delays and uncertainty of trying to get a traditional publisher to offer a contract.
Of course, there are also lots of authors who publish some of their books with traditional publishers, but still want to issue backlist, experimental, or non-commercial books themselves.
This is all good news for authors. But one of the consequences of authors becoming "do-it-yourself" publishers has been the proliferation of books that don't look quite right.
Although our books may be self-published, we sure don't want them to look sub-par, do we?
For many years I've helped authors get their books produced so they can compete with the books coming from traditional publishers. And while many authors hire professional book designers to create their books for them, this isn't practical or desirable from some people.
Some of the errors I see when reviewing self-published books are very easy to correct, if you only know how. So to help out, I've compiled here a list of the most common book formatting errors.
If you're doing your own formatting, make sure you pin this article up near your workstation. You'll be needing it.
7 Formatting Errors to Avoid
1. Putting page numbers on blank pages.
Blank pages have no text or images on them, and that means they should be truly blank. If you think about it, having a page number on a blank page really doesn't make sense, since there's nothing for the page number to refer to.
2. Using running heads on chapter opening pages or blank pages.
This is probably the most common formatting mistake of all, and I see it often in books from do-it-yourselfers. Just like page numbers, running heads (the type at the top of a page that shows the book title, author name, or chapter title) have no place on a blank page, just leave them off so the pages are truly blank.
3. Using "rag-right" typesetting.
Sometimes authors think they can make their pages look better by using rag-right typesetting. But if you walk over to your bookshelf and start looking at your own books, you will soon discover that virtually all books outside of art books or poetry, use fully justified composition. This means that the left and right margins of your page are straight and all lines except the last line in a paragraph are all the same length. This is what your readers expect to see in your book, so make sure you give it to them.
4. Double spacing between sentences.
Many of us learned to type quite a while ago, and many typing instructors told us to hit the space bar twice after a period. This is perfectly fine for business reports or memos, but it has no place in a book and can potentially cause problems when your book is typeset. So only one space between sentences.
5. Using both indented AND block style spaces between paragraphs.
Since we've started reading so much on web pages, we've grown accustomed to the block style of paragraph formatting. This is when paragraphs are separated by a line space instead of indenting the first line of a paragraph, as is usually done in books. Both work, but you have to pick one and stick to it. If you add spaces between your paragraphs, make sure you don't also indent the first line.
6. Putting the odd numbered pages on the left.
When you open a book, it just makes sense that the first page is page number 1, and that has to be a right-hand page. This rule is absolute, and you should never, ever number your pages with even numbers on right-hand pages.
7. Making super small margins to save pages.
Lots of authors who use print on demand services like CreateSpace know that they will be charged based on how many pages are in their book. But that's no reason to shortchange your readers by making your page margins too small just to save money. If your book is too long, reduce the type size a tiny bit or use a more space-efficient font. Small margins will make your book hard to hold and difficult to read, never a good result.
Paying attention to these details of book formatting will help ensure that your books look and work the way they are supposed to. Your readers will thank you for that, and it's your readers you should keep in mind throughout the publishing process.
Another way to solve a lot of these formatting problems while also getting a well-designed, industry-standard book is to use one of our book templates. They will save you an amazing amount of time and frustration, while making sure your book looks the way it should. You can find out more and see the available designs at: BookDesignTemplates.com.

A visitor to a certain college paused to admire the new Hemingway Hall that had been built on campus.
"It's a pleasure to see a building named for Ernest Hemingway," he said.
"Actually," said his guide, "it's named for Joshua Hemingway. No relation."
The visitor was astonished. "Was Joshua Hemingway a writer, also?"
"Yes, indeed," said his guide. "He wrote a check."

A dude goes fishing and sees another guy open his tackle box and take out a mirror.
He asks what the mirror is for.
The guy says "It’s how I catch fish.
I shine sunlight on the water, fish come to the top and I scoop 'em up."
"No shit - I’ll give you $20 for it."
The fisherman says, "Okay,"
Looking at his new mirror, the dude asked,
"By the way, how many fish have you caught so far today"
The guy says, "You’re the 6th"

A priest is walking down the street one day when he notices a very small boy trying to press a doorbell on a house across the street. However, the boy is very small and the doorbell is too high for him to reach. After watching the boy's efforts for some time, the priest moves closer to the boy's position. He steps smartly across the street, walks up behind the little fellow and, placing his hand kindly on the child's shoulder leans over and gives the doorbell a solid ring.
Crouching down to the child's level, the priest smiles benevolently and asks, "And now what, my little man?"
To which the boy replies, "Now we run like Hell!"

Quote by AvrgBlkGrl
Wow. That one is good. What do you know about the writer? It reminded me of this (same inspiration I believe, but different spirit):
Nobody will ever love you as much as an artist can.
On your worst days,
they will find poetry in your body,
consume you until you are complete
and strong enough to face the world
once more.
No one will ever love you
as much as me.
I don't know...did a quick Google search, and I get a lot of this...it's a frequently posted quote, and I do have the patience at the moment to figure out the actual author...do you know?
“Nobody will ever love you as much as an artist can. On your worst days, they will find poetry in the knots of your hair.”

This was Poem of the Day over on another site...and I thought it worth sharing...I have a feeling more than a few here can relate...and I wish I wrote this one myself btw...
I wish a writer loved me
I wish a writer loved me.
I would like to know how my hair falls, how my lips taste, or
how my eyes demand the truth.
How my laughter fills hearts, or how softly I breathe when I sleep.
He would use adjectives like "Divine" and
Nouns like "Royalty"
I would wake up to poems that had been written because he was too nervous
to read them aloud.
I wouldn't mind a shaky voice.
I wish a writer loved me because then I know that I would live forever in his heart like the words he would serenade me with.
A writer's love? Unparalleled,
and I speak from experience.

#2: "What do you do for a living?"
#1: "I'm a stockbroker. How much do you make?
#2: "I should clear $60,000 this year."
#1: "What do you do?"
#2: "I'm an architect."
The third guy has been sitting there quietly, staring into his beer, when the others turn to him.
#2: "Hey, how much do you make per year?"
#3: "I guess about $13,000."
#1: "Oh yeah? What kind of stories do you write?"
