What shall I do with rockworm?

[alpharaposa]

Don't worry - I'm not planning on stopping rockworm again. This is a broader question.

So, I'm keeping to a schedule. That's good. There are *counts* eight people who have friended it (besides me) and presumably read it regularly. Two of them comment often. That's.. well, it's not bad, but it's a bit disheartening.

So, how do I change that?

Part of me thinks, "If it's good, I'll get more readers," but there is a wiser part of me that says, "You won't get any more readers if nobody knows it's there!"

So, I'm asking for recommendations. Not just on how to get a little notice, but what to do with it once I have it. I don't expect to write deathless prose, but I hope it's enjoyable to people who like serial fiction. Would people want to donate? What should I do to direct those kinds of impulses?

I realize that if I never provide a way to get money, I'm never going to get it - this is the internet, after all. But I myself don't know if it's worth anything until somebody offers to pay for it.

I wish I knew what to tell you. :,

Finish it, collect it into a book, edit, send it off to a publisher?

It is possible to self-publish these days. And with minimal cash layout.

As for lack of comment...I've not caught up yet, only read the last three posts since I friended the group.

Keep on going. :)

Indeed. Lulu.com is one of many prime candidates. You could also contact Sofawolf Press if you'd like to go with a traditional-style publisher. (I believe they use a POD service to actually print the books, but you get a real editor to look over your manuscript.)
