That does sound intriguing.... Ha. I forgot I added that.....


On another note:
I'm straddling the fence on capitalizing pronouns. On the one hand, yes, it is a sign of respect, and I get that. On the other, it's awfully tricky trying to remember to hit the "shift" key on the keyboard so many times in a sentence... Writing by hand doesn't make it easier, either... and I always wonder where that custom came from. See, in German, all nouns are capitalized. Not pronouns, except for the formal version of "you," (which we used to have in English, but dropped at some point in history). Let it be noted... Hebrew does not have capital letters, so.... I'm still wondering where the custom came from.

You also capitalize every person's name. Not trying to be difficult. I just honestly want to understand where it came from and why it's so ingrained in our writing habits.

Hmm... Sounds like his books have a lot of redshirts...

Well, if they're just random characters getting killed off, which he created for that purpose, then yes.

Right. I'm starting to think Mr. Schreiber is a NaNo writer... lol. Incidentally, the word "Schreiber" is German for "writer."

They might be.... Are you saying they're shorter or longer? lol.

That could still be 50,000+, depending on the font, etc.
