All Comments on 'A Wider Sky Ch. 08'

Very hard to sustain any interest when your post is so short. I might come back after it is finished and read it all in one hit.

...for those readers who are conditioned to only enjoy a complete work. I keep a special file of links to stories that are serialized. Some of these can take years for new chapters. Every now and then I go through the list to see if there have been any new postings. That does prevent a lot of frustration.

In my opinion, the reason people get so upset waiting, is that they have been conditioned to immediate gratification and never learned patience.

It is interesting to note, that such multi-chapter serials are not new. Cinema used to be serialized. Or, at least in the medium of action films. Radio, then television had their soaps.

This all came about from 18th and 19th century newspapers. Twain, Doyle, Dickens and a multitude of other writers first published their work in serial format in newspapers. Before re-publishing as books.

A number of the writers posting to Literotica, do so to experiment, to judge audience acceptance. Advertising by posting a tease of just a portion of the complete novel.

hi readers, yes, this was a short chapter but i've just finished editing two more chapters and one is about 6k words. I am trying to post a least once a week; and now that camp nanowrio has begun, im going to sweep through the edits a bit more tenaciously to get to my book 2 edits before the end of the wrimo. We are nearing the half way point of A Wider Sky. Thank you for commenting.

cheers and happy reading,
