I think I want to do another side application that will be all about Ender's Game Trivia. There are a few things I already have on the list, but I would like any of you that want to contribute to post additional ideas. I can use all the help I can get.
Also my life has just been added the wonderful experience of tabbing my scriptures which makes me really want to tab my markup copy of EG. It would not be that hard--just a little time consuming. The first step is to find common points in the book. So if you have any suggestions about theme elements or important repeated messages it would be great to hear from you.
I am very excited about a lot of things--and I hope everyone is doing great! Smile!!
