Troubadour
After a month of trying to keep myself motivated to maintain -- and post regularly to -- my author blog (since all the experts online seem to think you really need to have an author blog), I'm starting to feel like I'm spinning my wheels, so I started thinking about going in a different direction, and was interested in feedback from my fellow Scribes.
What I was thinking of doing instead of trying to come up with writing-related (or other non-fiction topic) posts week after week, I wanted to turn my blog into a story blog, and publish a chapter of an on-going story every week. Part of my inspiration (and what I'm thinking of patterning the story after) are the old cliffhanger serial films from the early days of cinema -- so each week's chapter would end on a cliffhanger that would get resolved at the beginning of the next week's chapter.
So my question is this -- does this sound like an interesting idea? Would this be something you'd tune into week after week? Really hoping to find a way to both maintain a level of excitement about my blog, and actually draw readers to my blog, and the blog posts I've been writing so far aren't accomplishing either.
Thanks for any and all feedback!
