Blog Publishing
While I prowl forums and chat rooms and message boards, trying to stir up discussion among writers about using a blog to publish longer works, like stories and books, Michael Willis quietly goes about his writerly work, performing the experiment I only write about. His longest effort that I've seen is here. This links to the last installment because that entry contains links to all the other parts. What do you think? Would you read pieces that long (or longer) on the web? Could you wait for them to come out, bit by bit (double entendre intended)?

I would and do read longer posts but then I've been known to be a might long-winded myself. Depending on how a piece is written, I don't think it would be that hard to read portions on daily or even weekly basis. After all, people clamored as the boats docked long ago to get the installments of serial stories by Dickens, Poe and Harriet Beecher Stowe. We just don't have to get dressed and walk to the dock anymore.
I found another one through Michael's blog. Look at
Gag Reflex. Reads better than it sounds, although it's rough reading. This writer is going a step farther, one that I have also been just thinking about, incorporating pertinent graphics, although they're often on separate pages. Eventually this process would lead to the piece of writing becoming a website, in essence, a digital book.
