I don't know if anyone reads this out there in cyberspace, but how would people feel, or would anyone at least be interested in reading a novel in progress? Comment either way! Thanks!

Hi Alicia,

Sorry about your camera and your ankle! Glad you're still blogging! One of my commenters, cantueso, says she is unable to leave an anonymous comment on your blog. Perhaps she is interested in reading your fragments. I sure am too!

Okay, so I fixed the settings so she can comment anonymously. I think I changed that setting originally because I was getting tons of bots commenting when I initially opened the blog. So can you tell me if wordpress, if in being better is getting more readership than blogger? cause maybe I should switch, lol

this is my second trial run today. The first one failed. Then I saw David's message and yours to him.

it works!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I think you should come over to Wordpress. They have a special little program to import blogs from elsewhere.

And I don't think blog readers like to feel obliged to visit a blog regularly. Can't aa novel be written in instalments that are not governed by a timeline? CouldnĀ“t the chapters be written each as a finished story and the sequence created later?

First I tried to log in with my Wordpress URL, but the system said something was wrong.

I logged in as "Blogger", and the system asked me to first log in at Wordpress.

So what's the novel about? And where's the first installment?

For instance, if the novel were about one's first jobs or jobs one had as a student, each could be a post or two. That is how Spain's famous Lazarillo was written.

Again for instance, as a student I worked as a teacher (ended up in tears), again as a teacher (ended up in glory), as an underling at a tourist office (bored all the time), and as a telephone-book corrector (well no, on the contrary, it was quite entertaining) These would make good posts and good chapters.

Sorry, the above comment, about students' jobs, is from "cantueso", but I logged in the fast way.
