Spot the rhetorical question

[wayfaringwordhack]

Can those on my friends list who do yoga give me a run down of what dvds, books, etc. you use for your workouts?

-------------

Does anyone know how to format a letter or journal entry in a manuscript? I read in a source that I'm not really sure about that I should double indent on the left AND right sides. That seems a bit excessive. Any ideas? Italics or no?

Why is the whole of the Top 14 not shown on the regular cable sports channels? And why is Rugby+ not offered on Canal Satellite Réunion? Even if I wanted to pay €4 a month for the channel, they won't let me. *sigh*

Would any of my friends who have that Query Voodoo (or just a masochistic bent) be interested in shredding commenting on my query, which will--I vow it on the stack of dirty supper dishes--be completed by week's end? I'll set up a filter and stick your name on it if you say yea.

1. It depends on what kind of yoga you're interested in. I swear by kundalini and use the Ravi & Ana DVDs for those. Of course, I haven't been doing much yoga lately but you know what I mean.

4. I don't know if I can say I have the voodoo (because I'm pretty sure I don't) but I'm always glad to help.

1) Thanks. I'll add that to my as-yet-nonexistent list.

4) We'll call you masochistic then, shall we? ;-) Double thanks.

I read in a source that I'm not really sure about that I should double indent on the left AND right sides.

That is the traditional way of doing it in academia. That's the way we format quotations here. Which is in academia.

And I have no Query Voodoo at all, alas. Except the negative kind. I don't think my advice would help at all.

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

Eep, negative Query Voodoo?!?!?

[pjthompson]

Yes, I'm afraid so.

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

Is it catching?

[pjthompson]

Not if you don't take my advice on queries.

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

*keeps PJ's name far from the filter query* *lol* ;o)

[rabiagale.livejournal.com]

Yea.

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

Merci

[mindseas.livejournal.com]

Yea. (Not that I have query voodoo, but probably more when it's someone else's query.)

Thanks!

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

*nods* I think it is always easier to work on someone else's.

[kmkibble75.livejournal.com]

I would gladly read your query for you.

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

Thank you muchly.

Count me in for query voodoo.

As far as the letter or journal entries I'd probably italicize - double indent would probably matter one length - I think as long as there is something to offset if from normal text you are ok. (the double indent would work better for short stuff - longer entries would just get a little tedious to read.) Really I wouldn't worry too hard - as long as it is clear and consistent that's all that'll matter when you are trying to sell it and after, that'll be someone else's problem.

Thank you and thank you! I had it italicized at the beginning and then all the double-check formatting research made me flip out. :P Back into italics it goes.
