Re: Hey indentions...
I had the same problem when I first started writing. Someone told me of an easy way, that not only indents the paragraphs, but also spaces them.

If you use Microsoft Word, then what you do is go to your menu bar at the top. This is where you find the "File" heading. Click on the "edit" menu.This will drop down a menu bar. Look for the "Find" heading and click on it.
This will bring up a small window that has a blank bar with the words "Find What" beside it. In the bar, put this in: ^p. That's (shift)6 p.
On the right, you'll see 3 button, the on at the bottom says "Replace".
Click the "Replace" button, and a second blank bar with "Replace With" beside it.
In that bar, type: ^p^p.
Click the "replace all" button, under the "replace" button, and it will intent and space out all of your paragraphs.
Aslong as you clearly show in the main body text where a paragraph starts, indentattions included, it will work right away.
Then, you can copy and paste it to your post window in your writing.com account, and when it's posted, it will have all the indentations plus the spacing.

It's totally like magic!
