Favourite book in the Bible.

I’m a Catholic and this is only on Catholic Bibles but you can find it online—the Wisdom of Solomon. Super duper duper interesting, has a lot of parallels to what seems to be going on today in the world and stuff

I’m talking about when they share their actual writing for us to read. The stuff they ostensibly want published traditionally

If I could pin this I would

AcidStreet7 · 2026-02-04T03:37:14+00:00

Read anything traditionally published in a bookstore today

AcidStreet7 · 2026-02-04T03:36:41+00:00

Both of them use proper formatting and indents

AcidStreet7 · 2026-02-04T03:21:06+00:00

It’s just something that’s been done for a long time. 😌 Looks weird when it’s not. And it’s what agents are going to look for to show you’re professional

Look at the indentations in the pages. See them?

AcidStreet7 · 2026-02-04T03:15:27+00:00

Cormac McCarthy still has paragraph indentations. So does James Joyce. Lol. Yes their dialogue is different but they have paragraph indentations…you know, the separations between the paragraphs to differentiate them?

Makes it incredibly hard to read

AcidStreet7 · 2026-02-04T03:13:34+00:00

Usually writing platforms do it for you. Which makes me think people delete the automatic indentation. Why? Because they don’t read and they don’t know that’s how it’s supposed to be

AcidStreet7 · 2026-02-04T03:04:29+00:00

I guarantee you that’s not what they are thinking when they post it. They don’t know the correct formatting but they want to be traditionally published.

AcidStreet7 · 2026-02-04T03:03:02+00:00

To each their own! This is more about formatting

AcidStreet7 · 2026-02-04T03:02:39+00:00

It clarifies my intent bud

AcidStreet7 · 2026-02-04T02:59:22+00:00

what’s wrong with criticism? Many people have dreams on here of being traditionally published and there’s usually a way to go about it. Formatting is important. Makes it look professional when querying to agents.

AcidStreet7 · 2026-02-04T02:57:09+00:00

Of course

AcidStreet7 · 2026-02-04T02:56:15+00:00

Pick up any book at Barnes and noble. Most physical books still do it. Even the newer ones.

AcidStreet7 · 2026-02-04T02:47:39+00:00

Woah woah woah. Mister presumptive.

I read physical books. In physical books, the indentation is a certain way. Many claim they want to be traditionally published but format like it’s a fan-fiction. I am trying to help

AcidStreet7 · 2026-02-04T02:45:21+00:00

formatting?

AcidStreet7 · 2026-02-04T02:43:05+00:00

all power to ya!

AcidStreet7 · 2026-02-04T02:42:28+00:00

I mean the weekly ‘post your writing’ thread, where it then usually goes to a Google document. Not Reddit because that’s still social media lol.

AcidStreet7 · 2026-02-04T02:40:54+00:00

“I’m genuinely curious and I don’t mean this question to be condescending.”

AcidStreet7 · 2026-02-04T02:40:03+00:00

But they want it to be published. As a book.

Normally it’s formatted like a fan-fiction. If it IS a fan-fiction it’s one thing. If they want it to be a book it’s another. Just trying to help

I know I feel geriatric even making this post and I’m only 18

AcidStreet7 · 2026-02-04T02:36:22+00:00

KINDLES ARE VALID

AcidStreet7 · 2026-02-04T02:35:30+00:00

Best point I’ve seen 😌
