Question 1055: All About Paragraphing Jan 25, 2023

Show notes

Nichole asks:
I’m trying to find good resources to help me do better spacing with my paragraphs, and such for my fiction writing. I have a good grasp on overall grammar. (Though my hurried emails don’t show this…) But some of the different spacing for paragraphs, when to indent and how much, or there is dialogue and such are still mystifying to me. Do you have any thoughts on this? Or resources?
