*He thought it was a bug? If I wasn't sure of his age before I was now. Yup, nine years old.

*The fight itself was almost too clean, all sweeping motions and sure thrusts and throwing knives without looking. part of the biggest problem I have is that its almost too easy for Jo'hon.

*Interesting. I hope this won't be the run-of-the-mill magic users' guild you see in most epic fantasies.

*You have a lot of biblical names that you don't really see a whole lot of anymore, at least not where I live. (Saul, Jonah) Just remember if you continue in that vein it will give your story a certain flavor.

* I was trying to get Saul to tell a really bad lie.  I’ll have to think of something else.

* I wanted to give a feel for just how good he is.  He’s been studying swordplay for 20
   years.  Was there a sense of skill to what he did?  Or did it just fall flat?

* Well I hope not.  There will be more costs to magic than we’ve seen so far.  But even
    if I don’t do the school right, it won’t be there long anyhow.

*  There are quite a few biblical references as the book of Revelations was a large
    influence, hence the name; Seven Seals.

it's ok to be strange, as long as it's on paper.

I think I shall make that my new slogan... all credited to you of course. 

Haha, feel free.

Now I'm a Good Politician . . .

Isn't that a contradiction?

Ah-ha!  I have finally satisfied my hunger!  Now what am I going to do?

(Now I am torn between all your books. Why must you torment me so?  )

Thanks for your comments Frog!  I appreciate your incite in how a sixteen year-old thinks and I think I'll be able to bump it up some more.

You think your tormented?  I've got five more swimming in my head that I haven't dared to even outline for fear I'll never get anything else done.  To top it off, I've got three more I started but never got beyond the first or second chapter.  So much to do, so little time.

Well hes ugly enough but yes the time is wrong and it never flows back...just different a day can be an hour and an hour a day it all depends...Egwene or Elayne says something about it when at the Two Rivers reflection in TAR... on a different note...I'm curious who sent the attack on the farm in tear?

I can't remember her name right off hand, but she's the forsaken who is Arangor(sp) reborn--put in new body--it's mentioned in the beginning of KoD I think.  Some of the surviving forsaken were there in that meeting.

When do the books mention that he had memories from people on two sides of a battle?

I don't know, but I am 100% sure they did.

Around the last middle of KoD.

Also you gave us maybe a paragraph of a security guard's viewpoint -- what was that about? I don't think you should give us six lines of new viewpoint and then end the chapter. If he is going to be important next chapter introduce him then. I don't think what you have now really does much.

Oops, that wasn't supposed to be there.  Sorry about that.

I would have liked it if you did it in third person but hey.

I thought I had done it in third person.   Though I could have messed up in my delivery.  I'll have to check that out

But who wants to be a mediocre monkey??

Considering the alternative, I would.
