It was pretty awesome! I have to give Elon Musk credit for pulling this off. Much more impressive than his car in my opinion.

Congratulations! I have to say you put a lot of time and effort into the book because each version you posted kept getting better and better. Now you are inspiring me to work faster on finishing up my book.

Good points. Characters are the heart of the story. I do think that plot is the brain. I like both in my stories. The best books take interesting characters and put them in challenging circumstances.

Yes, but realize that Covenant entering this new world and finding himself worshipped is a major event. This is what propels the story at the beginning. Just not sure you need all of the character interaction you have developed in the first six chapter. This is obviously just my opinion. I do tend to favor fast starts. I just want to be helpful.

Sorry for typos, am on my phone.

I spoke to Suin and she is excited to join. I will send the link to the group so she can apply.

Hi Jube,

I wanted to respond to your review response comment regarding the narrative voice in Chapter 3. In general, I found the shift in POV to be something that I didn't like. But I didn't comment on it because you specifically said you were going to shift POVs. I know a lot of authors like to do it and it's a stylistic preference. Once I got over the fact you were going to head hop, I really didn't have a problem with each character voicing their thoughts. What is the alternative? A narrative in which each character's thoughts aren't explored? That seems pretty sterile.

I may be thinking about this the wrong way though since I generally don't write multi-character POVs within a chapter.

Welcome back!

Seems to me that the community is fine. People came and went from the old site all of the time also. I think issues with the forums are vastly overblown. If you want to post something, there are plenty of places to do it. Some people are getting tied up in the changes to the site when the functionality is the same, or even better. On the old site, you needed to go to a totally separate tab to view the forum, here it is on the homepage. Now if I want to send someone a private message, I can. If I want to communiate with a broader group, I can.

I realize some people define community as having every communication and conversation out in the open where all can see. I think this was more a limitation of the old site than a benefit. The site has matured. Not everyone likes it. Oh well, when did everyone like a change?
