Now, I’ve written novels, short stories, and been running a few serial stories through my blog.  The most recent one is Derailing Bedlam, but there was also the Raven Series that I did for the last 4 Octobers.  Will these ever be published like my novels?  Maybe, but I can’t say for sure.  The first one is connected to published works, but I couldn’t afford to put money into more when nobody was buying them.  The second one never had my full confidence to garner a cover and promotions, so I gave it for free.  Anyway, they always made me think about the differences between book and serial writing.  Figure I’d put some of my thoughts down.

1. You lose audience members faster with a blog serial.  It’s sad, but true.  With a book series, you always lose a few people between volumes.  That isn’t a very fast rate though…
