Comments on: Fear of Writing http://letterred.com/Blog/?p=45 Just another WordPress site Thu, 04 Dec 2008 03:57:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: admin http://letterred.com/Blog/?p=45#comment-75 admin Fri, 05 Oct 2007 20:37:48 +0000 http://www.letterred.com/Blog/?p=4#comment-75 Actually, this is a great idea. It would work much better if I wrote sci-fi, or similar, though. The guy that wrote <a href="http://www.brokentype.com/monster/" rel="nofollow">Monster Island</a>, David Wellington, really did it- he wrote a serial novel, built a following, and got published. It seems like he had a built-in audience. And I did meet one of the brains behind <a href="http://www.beforethemortgage.com/about/" rel="nofollow">Before the Mortgage</a> which has also gone book. I'm not sure if BTM isn't also a genre work, too. I've got neither the diary drive nor the burning desire to write the first great zombie novel. An additional complication is that although I can chip away at stories for years, I've got a real problem with consistency. I haven't updated this thing in about a month and a half, right? Which is all to say that yes, you're right. I need to get cracking. Actually, this is a great idea. It would work much better if I wrote sci-fi, or similar, though.

Lots of stories on the blog, generate a wild, loving audience, then compile them into a book one day. You could aim for the blook approach.
