@xonos-darkgrate I really, really like the excerpt you posted. The voice is very strong. The one criticism I have is that the summary of his early life never really clearly transitioned into the present. He was looking back, and I never quite caught where he stopped and began living the current story.
And I’m already curious about Brandon. 😉

@emma-flournoy Kate will get an email when the book is launched. You can upload it then.

@xonos-darkgrate Oh sorry, yup, that’s basically what I meant. Are you male or female. 😛 So you’re the first INTJ/Architect (dominantly at least) guy on this forum as far as I know. That’s real cool.

Aha, gotcha.

@daeus Welp, I’d like to read it again eventually (probably sometime after it’s published and we have it…physical books are so much better. No computer screen headaches.), but I think I can go off of the last version I read for the review if that’s fine with you.
In which case, when and where do I do the review?

@joy-schmidt Hey! Another thing I just thought of today… you know how you like to be satisfied, and how finishing the planning does that for you. Well, my ultimate satisfaction from writing is word count. I’ve been keeping a journal of how many words I’ve written for each of my writing sessions, and keeping track of how many words a day I write…[Read more]

Before I go on a rant of my opinions of the Message bible… @rolena-hatfield Does it go against the forum rules to talk about this? Rule one, to be exact? I just want to make sure…

@jess-penrose Agreed. KJV is accurate, and although no extremely literal to the Greek, it is still as we say, accurate. I use ESV and KJV and NKJV, and although they aren’t the same, they are all correct in biblical doctrine.
@the-real-kapeefer

Oh, and also, a few differences in the wording of a section of the bible does not change the story.

@the-real-kapeefer

@the-real-kapeefer Nooo… You do know that the KJV is one of the most accurate and to-the-text-bible translations we have, right?

@kballen Because you wouldn’t dare not like chocolate. 😉

Myers Briggs is an excellent theory on personality types that divides people into 16 different archetypes and defines how their brain works and how they generally act. You can take a free test to determine your type here: https://www.16personalities.com

Hi @kballen! You’ve found the Kingdom of Pen. We’ll have to give you a cloak and a bar of chocolate.

Btw, do you happen to know your Myers Briggs type?

@xonos-darkgrate awesome! INTJs and INTPs both are so cool. 😀 I’m an INFP myself.

@emma-flournoy It hasn’t changed very much. Mostly it’s just been clearing up confusing parts and improving the prose.

@Daeus Ohh…well. *scratches head* Well, do you think I should read it again for that? I don’t know if I have enough tiiiiiiime at the moment…but… Do you think it’s changed significantly enough that I’d need to see it again to give an accurate review? I know that would be the best thing, but if it isn’t changed a whole lot… I dunno. What do…[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate That is so cool. INTJs are one of the neatest types. We have several on here, though only female as far as I know. Which are you? For some reason I thought you were a guy, but I don’t know.
And I identify with getting more than one result. 😛 I’ve gotten several different results, and with a lot of reading and thinking it over…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy If you want to leave a review based on the version you got, that is fine. However, if you feel that you should read the most recent version first, then you can go ahead and sign up using the first link.

@Amy-l-klob Welcome, welcome, and thrice welcome!
