It's for phones only, at least for now, as it's focusing on "reading on the go," etc.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06604189594978198173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3922722966649601130.post-33566650967879819272022-01-15T08:12:41.396-05:002022-01-15T08:12:41.396-05:00Thank you. I am starting to think about releasing ...Thank you. I am starting to think about releasing serialized stories of like 5-10,000 words on Amazon at maybe 99 cents a pop. I like working in shorter narrative chunks, and I think Amazon would give me some more visibility. For example, I think my Doc Stalwart stories hold up really well, but nobody can see them because I have them buried in a far corner of the Internet. Rather than giving them away for free, I might take them down, re-package them, and try to sell them on Amazon. Maybe put up the first one for free as a trial, and then package them in groups of three stories (or so). I think I've found my narrative voice, and it doesn't read or feel like derivative SW fan fiction to me at all. I thought the Timothy Zahn books were okay, but they felt like a fan writing - there was always this pandering to the original movies ("Luke remembered - this was just like that one time on Bespin. Yeah. That was awesome.")

This was a great piece, Doc, and as always, I remind you that I would read (and that means purchase!) entire works of fiction by you set in any of your universe! In fact, I've finally started writing, inspired by your Doc Stalwart "issues" format. Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06604189594978198173noreply@blogger.com
