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 $$$.

Quack wins. I could see a Twitter competitor that uses quacking as it's version of tweet.
Cock-a-doodle-doo is crazier, but it's too over-the-top, even for me.

How about:

I'm debating using the often-misused mono y mono, which means monkey and monkey.
