Search options (Page 111 of 165)

Thank you, Corra. I considered buying the print version but was thinking the online version probably allows searches on anything in the manual, although I doubt I need the regular updates. I'll check out the cost of the printed version. I have a very small office, so desk and shelf space are at a premium as well. :-)

Thanks again.

You're not helping. Get in here and tell me what to do. (This is what you get for peaking in.) :-)

What's a league name? Wikipedia is one of the sources I used to decide between Imperial and imperial, although I've since seen some inconsistencies in their articles. If I use Imperial, that suggests to me that Imperator (like Emperor in Star Wars) should also be caps. If I use Imperator, then I probably should use Imperatrix and Imperial Heir. That leads to Royal Regent and Crown Prince, which leads to Princess. The regent rules an entire planet, but so do governors, but I've never seen governor capitalized. Etc. Let me know if I'm misunderstanding you. I prefer using caps for many of these, but it breaks down as you follow the chain of logic, above. President in caps is unique to the US. At least one of the style guides I referenced says not to capitalize it.

I adopted my own style, which is to lowercase informal use of titles and caps formal ones. So you get "Apollo is the imperial heir," but "Apollo is Heres Imperialis of the Imperium Romanum."

Um, ... huh?

Seabrass didn't recognize the name Shiburasu as his in spite of a number of hints in the chaper notes and chapter. K, brace yourself. I changed it to Shibrassu, figuring the Japanese language rules will relax over time. I'll probably change it again later to something less egregious.

I'll be damned. I finished another chapter. I combined two of the shogun's run-ins with Apollo to free up some chapter space. I need room for one additional chapter per MC in this act. I deleted the stuff about Apollo being trained by God (headsmacking exercises, etc.).

K, you now have two full-length back-to-back chapters about the MCs. Thanks for your help with the names.

Up next is a Galactipedia article about New Bethlehem, since I ripped that material out of chapter four, followed by Joseph's next full chapter. Then an article about the Julii, followed by Apollo's next full chapter. After that, the articles will fall off for a while.

I'm using the epigraphs for forum duels between Joseph and Apollo to build friction before they ever meet.

Quick go read! Amy, I still owe you a read. K, bzzt!

Hi, Tom. I have the same issue. I chose to create two books, Into the Mind of God (for v2) and Into the Mind of God v3 (for v3+). I will be deleting some chapters and adding new ones as I proceed with v3, which will throw off the chapter count, creating a discontinuity between old and new chapters, if someone were to read based on chapter numbers alone. Naturally, you could make it work if you hide all of the old chapters and then proceed to publish your new chapters as you write/finish them. Republishing will cause the new chapters to show up in the list of new books available to everyone on their homes pages, so they can see the new content and go read it for points. Simply editing the old chapters to overwrite the existing content will not require points, but then your new material won't show up under new books.

Also, in my case, I want to leave the old version up (for stragglers to finish) and concurrently publish new chapters for new readers, without confusing both groups of readers. Therefore I used two books. Once everyone is done reading v2, I plan to take it down (make them inactive). That way, I can keep the old reviews for reference as I write v3. Two books also means I don't have to deal with a confusing list of new and old chapters intermingled in the same list under the site's publish feature.

Hope that helps.
Dirk

Vielen Dank, Tom. Ich wünsche Euch allen ein Frohes Neues Jahr!

Amy, what level of editing feedback are you getting from your editor? More than just line edits, I assume. Also, what is the cost of editing a book? By the time I finish v3 + edits, I doubt I'll want to make any more major changes. I simply write too slowly. Just curious what you get for your $$$.
