You've been writing a series of short stories? I believe it is not easy. You really have it in you, it's already part 32. When did you start this series?

This is actually parts of a novel I started writing in 2014. It's previously unpublished, mainly because it isn't finished (I may have to do that. :) I've been posting around 1,000 words at a time, and am currently on a MWF posting schedule. I think I actually starting posting installments back in January-ish, so it's been over three months now. The actual writing part is around three months, with another 50-100 pages to wrap it up. Right now we're past the half way point with what I have.
Yes, i have visited the first part. I am 3 months too late. 😀
Yeah. Good ol' Steemit and content that could really be considered evergreen. That's one of the reasons for serializing it, because every once in a while people stumble upon an older post and then realize there's more to it. If it were all sitting there in one post, not only would it be super long, but it would also have only one seven day period to get anything. I don't know if it's really any better this way, but so far, It's been turning out okay.
I believe it is better this way, Glen. About 1000 words each part, 3 parts a week. How many more parts to come, in your calculation?
It's really going to depend on how things split out, but since I'm more or less in the middle of what I have now, that means potentially another 32 installments, plus however many more get tacked on to finish the novel off. I've been averaging roughly 4-5 pages of novel per installment, so the unfinished part could easily add another 10-20 posts. So another 42 possibly?
You wrote Maya 1.32, what does 1 mean. Is it chapter 1 or book 1.
The '1' was originally intended to mean section 1. I wrote the book in sections rather than official chapters, mainly because it wasn't really turning out in what I thought was a normal chapter by chapter format.
At any rate, when I finished posting the first section, I was supposed to change the number from 1 to 2 and so on with each subsequent section, but I forgot, and then didn't realize it until I was well into the second section, so I just left the number 1 and just changed the installment number. Originally the second number was also going to change and then start over with each section.
Actually, The Maya could get its own series, but this was actually written as part of another series that currently features George and Paloma Kirkegaard's daughter Paz. The series basically follows the extraordinary exploits of the Kirkegaard family.
Two of Paz's three books are finished and actually available as ebooks for Kindle. A third is partially written, but probably needs revamping.
I see.
