  • Wed, 02:12: One space after a period. ONE. #amediting Have to remember that as I'm adding all this description I left out.
  • Wed, 03:04: LJ tag: Opening Scene Is Kicking My Ass. Stunningly enough, it continues to do so. But I think I've beaten it into submission. Maybe.

You and I are the same age, and I'm guessing you took typing classes on real typewriters too. I've never managed to retrain myself out of the "two spaces" thing, although to be honest I have never really tried very hard. My thumb is probably going to go "tap-tap" after a period until the day I die.

Are a lot of people sticklers for the "one space" rule these days?

My publisher does the one-space rule, so I'm trying to stay within that.

Funnily enough, I use one space when I'm typing on the web, usually. But typing a manuscript is a whole other headspace. Or something.
