If you struggle with the serialisat...Hi there Nic,<br /><br />If you struggle with the serialisation aspect please keep in mind that 'Season 2' or 'Episodes 6-10' or whatever they end up being WILL also be released in combined form as a full novel-length omnibus, so you may prefer to read that way. It's still a few months off, but I've handed my draft to my publisher and I'm waiting on feedback before starting edits...<br /><br />Did I mention I'm not at all patient? ;-)Adina Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08860528131098237473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8716544277377551590.post-74647342387069648872014-01-05T00:02:32.035+11:002014-01-05T00:02:32.035+11:00Really looking forward to the sequel!

Personally I'm quite a greedy reader and like to consume the story quickly, often reading a book twice in a row so I can relax into the read second time round, I struggled a bit waiting patiently for the release of each episode.<br />Cheers<br />Nic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14889680741855806830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8716544277377551590.post-63304828226528163562013-09-08T11:05:44.973+10:002013-09-08T11:05:44.973+10:00Hey there to the last few commenters, and thank yo...Hey there to the last few commenters, and thank you for dropping in to say hi!<br /><br />I've been off the grid, busy writing on that sequel y'all are waiting for, so that's why I have been neglecting my blog. Which really isn't so different from usual. *Sigh*<br /><br />I really think it's time for a quick update post, though. Maybe with a little teaser for Episode 6.

The cover you're referring to is of the combined Omnibus edition, but for the serials/episodes I've had five different covers with different colours and background pics but the same overall theme. Very happy with them. :-)<br /><br />Hart - email me if you want to chat about the pros and cons of serialisation and the best way to go about it as I've had plenty of opportunity for reflection!<br />Adina Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08860528131098237473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8716544277377551590.post-81249181984326851982013-05-21T17:40:19.241+10:002013-05-21T17:40:19.241+10:00Denise - I never thought I'd be this obsessive...Denise - I never thought I'd be this obsessive either!

WOW. Reading this post provides so mu...Dear Adina,<br /><br />WOW. Reading this post provides so much food for thought. What it seems is that the nature of how we tell stories is shifting due to the manner in which we distribute. I can see, quite clearly, how you feel overwhelmed by this -- let's face it -- unprecedented scenario.<br /><br />We are forced to grapple with more information than the brain has evolved to handle. Even in trying to decide how much to write in this little comment box feels an exercise in focus, recall and processing that exceeds the typical Sunday morning pace. (It's Sunday morning, do you know how your serialized digital accomplishments rank?)<br /><br />All right, srsly. <br /><br />'Talking about it might give me some perspective!'<br /><br />Yesterday, my 9-year-old daughter and I went a little further down the road on the boys/her body/sex talk. Talking about it was a hugely beneficial exercise in even helping *me* to compose my thoughts -- which, when not forced into the light, are nebulous abstractions and principles at best. But having to talk to my little one, well that brings it into the realm of 'no room for fuzzy thinking.' It must be pragmatic, meaningful, useful.<br /><br />This will happen for you, too. You will learn as you move forward. You will learn from error and you will store, process and recall at will with more efficiency as this 'scenario' continues to train you. And, hopefully for the rest of us!, you will report, so we can learn and be stretched with you.<br /><br />Well done. On all of it. And I'm sorry about the sick kiddies, its own huge stress. :( I am very glad they are on the mend.<br /><br />I'll tell you what my sister told me the first month after I had my daughter and was weeping in the kitchen at 2am in the morning knowing I didn't want to allow another drop of formula to pass her lips. (I was nursing and supplementing with formula so that I could sleep for more than two hours as pumping was not working out for me.) She said, 'Do your best. You can have no regrets because if you do your best, there is nothing else you could have done.'Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908805179119217608noreply@blogger.com
