Running Out of Room

Tweet

I'm getting ready to sign off and go to bed, so if this doesn't make sense, please forgive me. One of the comments I read just now on my post Christmas or Xmas said she used it when she was running out of room. That got me to thinking. What do you do with people's names when you run out of room? Do you make your letters shorter in lieu of room? I remember using whatever white space was available when writing out homework assignments, writing letters, or signing greetings on cards. Of course today we have e-mails instead of letters and text speak instead of talking on the phone. While you're running out of room think about the other person who might not know text speak or all the shortened abbreviations in your e-mails. Typically I don't find a reason to shorten anything, unless I'm editing my novel and that's something you need to do. Just some random thoughts regarding running out of room. Thanks for reading and good night. I will be back tomorrow for a short time before I finish the last of the nine pillows before I finish with stenciling and stuffing and the final seams.
