Thanks for letting me know about Brogan's article. Best of luck with your writing, I've been seeing more and more people seriealizing their novels via blogs as you suggest. No idea if it works, but it is a new method so it might have some good results.

Thanks for your feedback. I have at least enough material for a few
months, plus plans for more material. If you don't mind me asking, how
was your readership? Did you keep the blog going even after you fell
off writing for it so that it could attract interest? Was there any
work or publishing opportunities that came out of it?

I tried an experiment like this a few years ago.

However, I started 'from scratch' -- no old stories, just new ones. The objective was to write a new and post a chapter a week. I was writing two stories concurrently, on the hope that visitors would find one of the stories to their tastes.

I failed in about 3 monthsl.

I got a little behind, at first.

Eventually 1 week became 2, and then I decided that if I was going to be late I could be a little more late...

...until I finally told myself I was a big failure and just gave up. Fortunately, not a lot of visitors had come by, so there were few to disappoint.

You'll probably do a lot better if you already have all these stories written.
