    Generally speaking (and this is for 95% of all computer documents and online articles) you want to double space.

    It just looks cleaner and is easier on the eyes. Especially if you use a naturally small font format (like this one) as opposed, to, say...

    This size and formatting, which would be fine with single spacing because it's easy on the eyes.

    To the question, if you're using Word like I normally do, make sure you double space between paragraphs. As you probably have noticed, indentations aren't really a thing on these forums, so if you forget to double space between paragraphs it'll turn into a long column of scroll-like horror.

    Render or draw a representation of one or more of the four elements: Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire.
    Due: May 31, 23:59 PST. Have ideas suggestions? I'd love to see them in our AOTM Suggestion Thread!

    I've seen someone make their own indentations by typing a few spaces of "_____" in invisitext before each paragraph, once. I must say, it was pretty clever.

    Yeah, this pretty much.

    Albeit using Microsoft Word you can typically get away with single line spacing and then just hitting the enter key at the end of each paragraph twice.

    All I ask is that you try. Whether you succeed or fail you'll grow better as a writer from it.

    You have almost three days, actually. The entries aren't due till the end of Dec 4th, which is a significantly longer amount of time than one day, if that helps any.

    But if you're too rushed, you're too rushed. I understand.

    And to think this was such an awesome theme... Meh, Hopefully there'll at least be a good amount of other people posting their things here.
