Oh, and here's something fun you're going to have to fix. Writing in the caption box (I can't call it anything else until we have more than 1000 characters) is not an exercise in how to be happy with your writing. Spacing, new lines, paragraphs ... nada. Everything comes out as a single sentence. Please get the programmers to acknowledge that the "enter" key is a valid keystroke. It means "I need a new line here."

I'm a poet. Word placement and line spacing is just as important as the words I choose. Can you imagine what a poem would look like if you couldn't start a new line or put a space between stanzas?

What's it going to look like when we get our nice big character count back in the Writer's Gallery if an author can't start a new paragraph?

The breaths between words
Those pauses that create

Anticipation

Convey as much
As any polysyllabic masterpiece

Don't dismiss our need
For the

ENTER

Key

This is what that would look like if they don't fix the problem: The breaths between words Those pauses that create Anticipation Convey as much As any polysyllabic masterpiece Don't dismiss our need For the ENTER Key
