I've often wondered about trying a serial, so if I ever do decide to take the plunge, I'll make sure I reread your helpful advice first.carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318328803191272208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539691603325793063.post-60242719691176289772020-02-02T16:18:11.286+00:002020-02-02T16:18:11.286+00:00Liz: that's great!

In the end, it's whatever works for you, I think. Will look out for your next Pocket Novel :-)<br /><br />Alyson: Thank you for reading!<br /><br />Anon 1: Perhaps - if you haven't already done this - Penny Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05987400902932312959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539691603325793063.post-64599693578701443832020-01-31T19:58:43.616+00:002020-01-31T19:58:43.616+00:00Thanks, Penny.

I still don't know if I'll try writing a serial, but if I do I will have a much better idea now of how to go about it.<br /><br />And sorry, I forgot to give myself a nickname or number last time. I have remembered this time, even if I have not been very imaginative.<br /><br />Anon 1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539691603325793063.post-73723522627088149702020-01-31T17:06:15.470+00:002020-01-31T17:06:15.470+00:00Thank you, Penny.

Though I'm writing a pocket novel and not a serial, I'm grateful for the advice to split each episode into easily summarised scenes where the protagonist may be involved in doing something concrete while their thoughts are otherwise engaged. Thank you too, Patsy, for arranging the interview. Patricia Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00841820739735388995noreply@blogger.com
