Page gutter
by
Bruce Wadd
I’d swept many in the past, but this kind of gutter I knew nothing about!
“You need to get the balance right between written word and blank space,” he instructed. “Amateurs try to squeeze too many words on a page. Professional writers and publishers know that the reader needs a gap between the end of the line and the edge of the page – the gutter!”
Are you running flat out in life, with no space left to live? When’s the last time you sat quietly and watched the sun rise or set? Have you recently walked with the ones you loved, telling them what you appreciate about them? Smelled some flowers lately?
Maybe it’s time to widen your ‘gutter’?
“But they delight in doing everything God wants them to, and day and night are always meditating on His laws and thinking about ways to follow Him more closely.
They are like trees along a river bank bearing luscious fruit each season without fail. Their leaves shall never wither,
and
all they do shall prosper.”

We
were discussing my next book and how it would look in print. The
professional book printer talked about the quality of the cover, the
thickness of the paper, the size of the book and the gutter.
