[stylist] White space and other tactics

[Anita Adkins]

Hello,

I love those Lucas Davenport books. In the book I am writing, I am just 
using white space, only because that is how we were required to do it in my 
fiction writing class and because this happens to be a short story that I 
feel needs a little separation. In the novel I am working on, I just use 
chapter breaks. I don't know if anyone has read any James Patterson, but I 
notice his books have many short chapters. Maybe, he uses that technique 
instead of white space. I'm not sure since I read his books with audio. But, 
if so, that would also be another way someone unable to see the whitespace 
could be alerted to it. Have a great day. Anita
