Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: OT: Working from home
I remember when I was in 10th
grade, and we had an assignment to write a paper that was to be three pages
"double spaced".
I didn't know what double
spaced meant (and, being a boy, was too stupid to ask - no comments from the
smart women out there) that I typed it with double
spaces between each word.
Was this a bad
thing?

so then if you use a REAL SMALL Font(like this msg),
then you can get more word with less pages per book and make
more?

>>>well, there are different rules for different things... it's
not the number of pages, it's the number of words :)back in the
early days of pulp fiction, writers were paid by the word, not the
story... the more words, the more money. Made for very very detailed
stories :)>From: "Toepke, Kevin M"
