Writing Wisdom: Pay Attention to the White Space White space is the quiet magic in your writing. It’s not just blank space—it’s the pause, the breath, the moment of stillness that invites your reader to slow down, reflect, and truly connect with what you’ve written. Think of white space as the unsung hero of great writing. It creates room for your reader to breathe, to absorb your message, and to feel inspired. Without it? Your writing can feel overwhelming—a wall of text that leaves them scrambling for an escape.
