A closer read has shown the "other novels" aspect of that paragraph to me.  I guess it's fine that you leave me in, then.

Sprig has the right of it.  A lot of those early books might not ever see publication, and if they do, it will be years and years.  I wanted this acknowledgements page to include all of those people who encouraged me during the time when I was a nobody trying to produce quality work.  

The TLE group's response to DRAGONSTEEL and WHITE SAND was very flattering, and was part of what convinced me to keep working at this despite the unlikely chance of my ever being published.  So, if you were part of that team that encouraged me, I wanted you in the acknowledgements page.

Now, Kije, since you're a member of my current writing group, you'll probably get on the MISTBORN page.  If you'd rather wait until then, I won't be offended.  Just tell me what to do.  I posted this so people could give their thoughts.

If you're including people that have read your other books, you could toss me in.  I read three of yours back inn the day.

Then again, you gave me Mistborn months ago and I haven't had time to even open the file.
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier.

You should thank Ken Jennings for being a swell roommate!  ;D
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

Is there anyone in Provo you havn't mentioned on that page, then?
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)
