Printed the first draft of my book at my local library, the print preview looked normal.😆
I think the writing gods are telling me there's about to be a lot of edits and annotations in my future so it gave me extra margin room.

Hey everyone, wanted to make this account to post about the book I'm writing.
Also, a little teaser of the plot:
A cult travels to a small seaside town to find a relic they have seen in their visions, believing it will help them aid their deity, the Seawitch.
