Amy, I received a full review from you yesterday, includng closing comments. I still need to respond to it.

Turns out TNBW can host the images directly. I gave up on it though. The table format doesn't look good. I was trying to include a timestamp on each post in the Royals forum.

Where did you host them from and how did you link them into your chapters?

I wish I was in Dixie...

Is there a way to imbed Word tables (or images of the tables) within my chapters online? Tom Oldman mentioned that he hosts the images elsewhere and then links to them, but I think he was referring to images in thread posts. Have any of you done it? Embedding a table would be ideal, since that's probably what I'll use for the layout within the book. Images will do as a fallback. It's for a collection of fictional forum posts. I want them to look more structured than is otherwise possible with regular text formatting.

Thanks
Dirk

Do any of your books ever explain what happened at Earthwound? I don't remember reading anything about it. Earthwound figures prominently in these books, but not the explanation. Or does it come later?

Neither. My phone's Swype software offered up brule, so i went with it. Pardon me for not crawling out of bed, powering up my computer to use my French-English keyboard, and googling the correct spelling to play a fun word game with people, most of whom I know well enough to know they would never be offended by a typo.

Aren't you a pleasant little fellow....

Thank you, Gacela. It needs tweaking as suggested by graymartin, but I'm very pressed for space in that chapter (20 pages!), and it is a battle scene, so telling seems reasonable. However, I thought the description of the colonel's actions was showing, which is why I was scratching my head when I was told it was telling.

Here's one I have that stubbornly refuses to be trimmed of wases and weres. NJC and Janet Reid helped me get it down to three at one point, but as I added detail, it crept back up to five. This could be a good exercise for a writing class. :-)

I had the exact same issue as rhiannon. I told the entire tale from the POV of my two MCs, Joseph and Apollo, alternating back and forth between them on a chapter-by-chapter basis. A secondary character, Caligula, was there as an antagonist. I decided to bring in his POV near the end when I needed the reader to think Apollo was dead. It's one of my favorite chapters in the whole book. I'm now rewriting to foreshadow his surprise role in that chapter.

Thank you, sir. I sent a PM to Sol asking about hosting images/tables. Perhaps there's a way.
