Mark’s comments from the Try Not to Die: An Interactive Adventure group.

Too many correct guesses on the last chapter. Hopefully this one is a little harder. Here is the latest doc: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/764a99e5mj

Here is a link to the poll: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/3...

Jacek wrote: "I appreciate how this chapter subtly shows the limitations of the protagonist insight, and also continues to develops the realistic sibling relationship."

Awesome! Although Kevin fully created the story and their relationship, I loved how it plays out. Definitely reminded me of interactions with my younger brother. I'm glad you're enjoying the book.

Rebecca wrote: "Well. I've met my first death so far 🤣🤣"

Well done. I hope you enjoyed it.

Lisa wrote: "I’m trying to get the new chapter and it says the offer has expired."

Oops. Sorry about that. Thanks for letting me know. Should work now. https://dl.bookfunnel.com/764a99e5mj

Here is the new Roswell document with Chapter 4 and the last two death scenes (both of which haven't been edited yet) - https://dl.bookfunnel.com/764a99e5mj

Thanks! I'm really excited to see how it turns out. I love the line-up of authors and know it's going to be sick.

Lisa wrote: "Bob’s full name cracked me up! It reminds me of the Key and Peele bit with the college football lineups."

Kevin did all the naming/characters/storyline/and important stuff. I, however, have watched countless Key and Peele bits so I'd say that makes us equals.

Kevin wrote: "I'm READY!"

Awesome. I'll be shooting you over the guidelines soon. I can't wait to see what you're going to come up with.

Here is the next chapter in the book. I believe this might be the only decision point with 3 choices. Good luck: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/764a99e5mj

That is so incredibly cool of him. Tell him I said thank you. I'll email you back answers later today or tomorrow. Thanks!

Talees wrote: "Thankyou! I did end up finding the poll and im sure I have died this time around! Bring on chapter 3!!"

Yay! Keep it up. I'll put up Chapter 3 tomorrow.

Kevin wrote: "I'm almost positive I could win this contest"

I think you mean tie. I'm feeling fairly confident as well.

Emily wrote: "amazing news"

Thanks! I can't wait to see what these authors create. And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared a little.

I got a message from Wrath White on Friday letting me know he's ready to begin writing a short story for the Who's Satan Inside anthology.
This forced me to get off my ass and create a map along with clear guidelines about the project and notes about the TNTD so everything stays consistent.
It also got me to finish writing the TNTD. I powered through the last three scenes and am very happy with how it has turned out. I'll go through the book one last time before passing it off to Andrew Najberg for the edit, and then I'll get the rest of the anthology writers started with their misadventures of Satan.

Rebecca wrote: "can't wait for the next chapter!!"

I'm hoping to have the edits to me by tomorrow so I can put out Chapter 3, but either way, I'll post the new one by Wed. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Keep it up!

Shanda wrote: "This is so awesome!!! Thank you for this."

Thank you for playing. I'm enjoying this smaller group play. I can laugh at each person's wrong choices. Feels more personal. :)

Dawn wrote: "I'm known for dieing in the TNTD series of books. That's all I do is die. Have not gotten out alive yet!!"

Dying is the best part and we appreciate your commitment to it. I decided to add a last place prize for the person who dies the most in this contest.

Kevin wrote: "I love that this book is finally alive and killing so many readers."

You psycho. What's wrong with you? :)
