Remind me never to serialize a story again. Never.
I've decided I'm not enjoying my new-found closeness with the reading process. I hate the days when I post -- Comment Day. It's a nerve-wracking nightmare, is what it is.
I suspect authors who release their stories as whole units, all at once, do not endure this. I long for that, to just write the story and do all the necessary drafts and then just give it over as a fully formed piece. Not that I would walk away per se, but I would not be forced into the constant see-saw of first draft jitters -- completion relief -- comment jitters. It's really getting to be tiring, doing it this way.
But I don't want to be a quitter either. All my writing life, when continuing on got threatening or even boring (yes, let's all admit it -- it happens), I threw in the towel. I can't bring myself to do that this time, frayed nerves or not. I don't owe it to the readers half as much as I owe it to me to just finish this thing.
So I guess I better get my chores out of the way, huh? LOL But I'm never serializing again!
