I know it hasn’t even been a month since I raised this idea (and granted, not even a week since I fin­ished my man­u­script) but I think I am going to pur­sue the online chapter-form of sto­ry­telling for my next endeav­our. As I do have a strong idea for my next book, I know I can take a lit­tle time to try my hand at some­thing new, and admit­tedly some­thing I have not gone any­where near, in any facet before.

I have done quite a bit of research on how var­i­ous ser­ial authors go about pro­mot­ing their work, and how they present it; whether this is by them­selves on their own web­site, or through a web ser­ial (online) pub­lisher. I’m obvi­ously not going to snag an agent any time soon that’s going to sud­denly pay me to pro­duce any­thing resem­bling a web ser­ial, so I’m not going to con­cern myself with that par­tic­u­lar notion right now. First off, I need to get together my story-world, I need to fig­ure out how I am going to present it — and pub­lish it, whether through said online pub­lish­ers or myself — and not least, I need to right the damn thing. Some release weekly, some bi-weekly or even monthly. For me, I have no plan on any frame for rolling it out bit by bit, but I do like the idea of weekly where pos­si­ble, with intent to release it as a whole book at the end of its ser­ial run.

I like some of the forms I have seen; the vary­ing degrees of pre­sen­ta­tion and the plat­form, but these are estab­lished exam­ples. I am a new boy to this, and as such, I may need a bit of advice. If any­body has any, I will gladly listen.

Lastly, I think I will be devel­op­ing and writ­ing May 5 & The Assas­sin for this lit­tle adven­ture of mine. It’s cheeky, spunky, adven­tur­ous, and full of action, intrigue and moral ambi­gu­ity… at least, it’s sup­posed to!

More incom­ing soon, probably.
