I use the screen name Lookin^Up because my goal in sci-fi is to stay positive, to show a good future for humanity, not one rife with war, corruption, sexual liaisons, and political morass, as we see in abundance today. I prefer to present a world where these no longer exist, which is the thrust of my upcoming novel, Savage Worlds. Thank you for posting this article, Tamera.

]]> Comment on Thoughts on Serializing a Novel by Gil Stewart http://pawnstorm.wordpress.com/2007/08/15/thoughts-on-serializing-a-novel/#comment-556 Gil Stewart Tue, 28 Apr 2009 20:14:16 +0000 http://pawnstorm.wordpress.com/2007/08/15/thoughts-on-serializing-a-novel/#comment-556 Tom - this posting is really old, so I'm not sure it is even current. Oh well. I have a few novel length stories I'd like to serialize as free blogs. My problem to this point has been finding a Blogging format or template that would allow one website to host several stories, each of which was archived by chapters. I have to believe that is being done, but I haven't found it yet. Based on your experience blogging a novel, I'm curious it you have any ideas. Thanks for any input you can offer.

I like scifi, fantasy, and even a combination of both, but I want my serious science fiction to follow the rules. Also, remember Arthur C. Clarke's Third Law: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
