Yesterday, in looking up how many words per
page and how many pages per book, I found a reference that said 400 words for
fiction, 1000 words per page for academic books. No wonder, I like to read fiction… there is a lot more white than black on the page… it allows my mind to
take it all in.
For writing, my lap top is set for 12,
sometimes 14-point font size. It’s easier on the eye, it’s easier to find the
typos that the spell-checker misses. This
reminds me of a day back in the eighties when jeans were first moving beyond
the red and white tag of Levis to designer names displayed boldly on back
pockets. My friend Max said, “You know you shouldn’t wear jeans if they require 40 font.”
