cj’s Writerly Tip:
Back in 2020, the Writers in the Storm blog posted an
article on the use of white space in publications. I take that to mean in indie-published
works, because, with few exception, authors have little or no control over what
a publishing house does with the format.
Here’s an excerpt from that article with which I totally
agree:
“Like a pause in a song, white space can help create drama, emotion, a bit of quiet before a storm of words.
White space is the canvas where we paint our words.”

“Animal lovers unite!! This book not only had several great stories but it also supports the Harbor Humane Society. I particularly love A Hare-Raising Haunting by C.K. Fyfe. It had that element of mystery mixed with humor. I also happen to own a bunny so I know how smart and mischievous they can be. A definite two thumbs up!!!”
