@Rachel: I did some digging into the gender issue.

So scholars generally say angels are androgynous. I dug into why they say so, and it seems to boil down to the bible using a male pronoun, so no one's really too sure if gender really applies to them.

In other words, we don't believe there are female angels simply because the bible never mentions any. I find this assumption rather fascinating to be sure.

Of, so since I have created my own gender problem, I have been careful throughout both Project L and Project R to never cal them "men" and "women" which would be human terns created long after angels existed. For the record, I'm unconcerned with achieving biblical accuracy, but I wonder if scholars have penned themselves into a logical quagmire where if a female angel one day showed up, they may have to ask her to cease to exist.

A star wars staple (even in the books) is a desert world, which is pretty much impossible in a star-faring society.

Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars colonization series even nods to this because they take ice comets and do low orbit runs for like 20 years to build the planet's water reserves. It costs pennies to deflect a comet if you have broken the fossil fuel barrier. So ya, I can see Herbert's point-- at least he had a purpose for the desert world

New post forthcoming?

I actually haven't seen 9. Gave up on the franchise. Rogue One had a pleasant ending, but that's been the only one I liked in the past 21 years.  Time to cut my losses lol

That reminds me, you have a post above from 10-29 with my name and character name together. Would you be willing to nix it?
I'm not super worried about the Google-monster, but ever vigilant

Ok as to your question, I had asked before if your target market was reading Dan Brown, and you indicated you were going for a more moderate crowd, but I still don't have a solid idea who your reader is. I recogniize I've been desensitized to violence because I just read about a young boy being stabbed and didn't bat an eye. Granted this problem, I understand how escalating violence could be an issue.

More food for thought: Project L is not a good fit for this site because we don't have tons of Twilight fans here. That's perfectly fine; I filter comments with this in mind. You may be stuck in this situation too. This will take some work to overcome... you'll need to build a platform where your market is. You'll need one anyway, when it's time to release. Honestly, the time to start building is now.

o dear

--er don't care is not the right word... "accept its flaws"?

Can you leave some errors in there so we can get points?

Hey Dirk. This will boil your mind, I bet.

I've been getting riddled with caps issues on "Earth". eg: "Bye everyone, I'm headed to Earth."

but "I would travel to the four corners of the earth" apparently the rule is lowercase.

There should be an emu in this thread.

They survived here. Making money now, thanks to Covid

A minor addition, "teacher" can be made to pass the uniqueness rest.
Imagine your 5-yr-old running in the door:
>Mom! Dad! We caught a bug today and Teacher let us keep it

(Later same book, talking to a friend)
Dad: Our son's teacher gave him a bug.
Here, Dad cannot use capital because uniqueness lost

Another example, the Lone Ranger & Tonto walk up to two villains.
Villian: Hey lawman (Addressing Lone ranger as one lawman among many)
vs
Villain: Hey Lawman (Using a common term that everyone in the scene understands who it is)

In this above case, I'll take either as long as it's consistent that no other good guy is also Lawman
