I'm looking for a Japanese equivalent to the shogun's martial arts training, originally called Glorious Death. Banzai is silly enough in this context that it's perfect.

Thanks

Is that Gungan? You missed a "M'sa".

K, can you suggest a relatively reliable source to translate Glorious Death to Romaji?

Thanks

Or, you've had a variety of experienced reviewers, read a lot of how-to books, and written 2.5 drafts. At those prices, I can't afford the expense for a self-published book.

Aldamurisse? I'm intrigued. And after Carrie and her mother, I need a little good news. Do I need to skip to the end, Amy, or will the book still be up a while?

Or a bird sound totally unlike tweeting or chirping. I'll look some up tomorrow. Like squawked, but funnier.

It's intentionally tongue-in-cheek, which is something I began doing in act three onward (and on into v3). And don't forget about ancestry.com. That kind of search will be a simple lookup in a few years. Also, the Queen of England is known to be a descendent of King David (now that's cool!).

If I get rid of the tweeting, I would drop US president too. Technically, you would expect that the president's real name be given in such an essay/article anyway, so that was a known weakness to the writeup. I kind of like Bombast, though, so that begs the question who better than Trump for that role? It should have the potential to be based on someone real without coming right out and saying it. It helps if they're dead, so I can't get sued.

I was originally going to use Bishop Bling, but that's already taken. $30M to renovate a church?! Might as well rebuild St. Peter's Basicala.

Glad to hear it. It doesn't help that many uninsured in the US have to go to the hospital ER to get non-emergency medical care. The long wait time in very uncomfortable chairs in the Jersey City ER was more stressful than anything else. I finally discovered that in the middle of the night there was virtually no waiting.

Here's the ordering if I delay both articles until later:

It just doesn't work. Joseph writes his essay before the reader knows anything substantive about the Great Collapse. Also, we then seesaw back and forth between story chapter and Galactipedia starting from chapter four. One of the advantages of having the Great Collapse before the main story chapters is that it gives history that affects both MCs. The New Bethlehem essay is relevant to Joseph. And the Rise of the Julii is relevant to Apollo.

Here's what it looks like if I move the essay out as a Galactipedia article:

This one at least is balanced. Two opening chapters, an article before starting the main story, two story chapters (one per MC), followed by one article+chapter for each MC.

I looked up bigly. It's a word! My theory is that Trump, really a Democrat, is actually brilliant and putting on a reality show while secretly destroying the Republican Party.
