A friend in class helped me to add shadows to the text box and to add padding to the text box.
THE CODE
the box-shadow helped make the text box stand out more and give the interface of the Twine story a 3D effect. I will definitely be using this code throughout my Twine story.
TWINE STORY
The 25px padding made the space around the text more even and also made the gap between the text and the text box not so prominent.
