I enjoy reading others work. I get an idea of who they are and what they write and it makes me want to support them even more. Everyone has their own way.Reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493618594406138554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162552408162747159.post-4009252956606616502011-03-09T00:01:46.426-08:002011-03-09T00:01:46.426-08:00I love my serials - for so many reasons it could t...I love my serials - for so many reasons it could take up several blog posts. But I think first and foremost an author needs to know that if he/she is going for a traditional contract, serial novels are not even really an option. Traditional publishers want first rights, and while there are notable exceptions, I think it's probably safer to just say "no". <br /><br />Ironically, the reason I started my first serial was because I knew if I put it on my blog, it couldn't be trad. published, and it took the pressure I was feeling off. It freed me to "just write" again...and started my spiral into the self-pub pool. ;-) <br /><br />The waiting between installments *is* killer for the reader though...I certainly don't blame anyone who doesn't have the patience for that. My regular readers are hugely motivating though (as is the regular deadline), and I wouldn't give that up for the world.Jamie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05486427517423813962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162552408162747159.post-21469996370032752842011-03-08T10:01:27.092-08:002011-03-08T10:01:27.092-08:00Awww, so touched!

I think it does help to spread your name and gather a following, but it has its down side as well. I've also known some that complete their story, edit, do rewrites, etc. and then post in a serial form, once a day or once a week. Really, I say its the authors choice. <br />Personally, I'm still waiting on your next email. LOL Have a good day. MillieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
