Unscheduled post, to talk about the publication of serialized stories on the blog. Not necessarily in mine, but in others too. In a certain sense I have already done an experiment of this kind, when I participated in the collective writing project on apocalyptic stories. They were well received, albeit with very few comments. Looking back on those stories now, with so many other stories written and so many other books read, I am not satisfied. But it's normal for this to be the case.
I want to try that experiment again: that of Phone Number Data writing stories in installments For now there is an idea in mind, a fantastic story, but nothing more. And another story I had started working on, dramatic, raw. There will be four episodes, I think, for both stories, so an entire month, every Sunday a self-contained chapter, but connected to the previous one. A unique, long story, divided into parts. Read serialized stories I wonder, beyond the writing exercise itself, what the reader thinks when he finds himself faced with a story that isn't finished and will have to wait an entire week to find out the sequel and another week after that, until the end.
How much of that story will remain after seven days? Will he be forced to reread the previous episode to remember the story? How to write a serialized story When I wrote my first serialized story I didn't have anything definite in mind. I just decided there had to be seven stories and I wrote straight away. This time, however, I want to define the story, create a schedule (which actually already exists for the dramatic story), and therefore have some guidelines that will make my work easier. At the end of the story I will postpone continuing reading until the following week and for each episode that follows there will be one or more links to the previous episodes, so as not to disorientate the reader. The final idea is to then bring everything together in an ebook.
