This was a great retrospective. Interesting points about writing the serial in a way that is more conducive to reading in an email/on a website. I'm definitely going to do an event-style serial story in between writing books 2 and 3 of my series, thanks for the inspiration! And excited to see your NFT launch!
Figuring out how to market a serial story midstream is a challenge I haven't solved yet.
Most of my hesitation comes from the system as a whole. Amazon and traditional publishing isn't working for the majority of authors. Have you seen that NY Times stat... 98% of books sell less than 5,000 copies. My last novel sold relatively well but it wasn't enough to sustain me as a writer. I'm hoping to find a better way. I think there's a path in WEB3, I just don't know exactly what it is yet

Thanks, Jon! Can't wait to see your event style serial story. You were considering an NFT launch as well, right?
I am. Trying to figure out how that fits in with the other stuff I am doing (Kickstarter, paid Substack subscriptions).
Really interesting (as always!). I’d love to hear more about why you’ve decided against publishing on Amazon/other online ebook sites.
