Call me Donna

So, good news, good news, and maybe bad news.

I've come to realize that being on the outbound dialer at work is a blessing in disguise. It is outbound tech work, so nothing sales or similar. What the dialer means is that I have about 30 seconds every minute while I wait for it to connect me to my next victim.

So, I started, a couple of days ago, writing while waiting for the system to connect me. Not only am I writing between 5k-6k words per day, but I am enjoying my job more, and getting more actual work done.

That means I've been able to finish Donna much faster than I would have normally. Well, I'm not done yet, but I am just wrapping up the final chapter.

I'll be the first to admit that I can be a really impatient girl, so that brings us to the bad news, If I keep posting in single chapter sections, then it will be a few days more until you all know the conclusion of the story and we can get back to My name is David.

So, question for the people who are reading this, or is it more of a proposition.

As I see it, I can either keep posting a single chapter a day here. I have Chapters 4 and 5 ready to post with ~6k words to divide up, and bit more to write before the story is fully complete. Say 2 and a half more chapters worth of content for ease of understanding. That means, today I post chapter 4, and then there are four more posts to go before the end. I would be posting chapter 8 on Sunday.

Alternatively, I bring down the entire story, recreate it as a monolithic story with a link at the beginning to where the former version left off. This would mean that I would finish the entire story tomorrow. I don't like this one, though, because I lose the nice comments.

I could, possibly, do a third method of making a monolithic file for everything else, and just have the organization off, but my inner obsessive cringes at the thought.

Fourth would require the dispensation of the site moderators, posting all of the chapters and spamming the site, and then they can remove all of them but the current one from the list.

I don't like the fourth version, though, as it is just creating more work for everyone.

Hon, why not just post

every other day? With one day between you will gain comments. That is if you are so inclined to? Doing a daily is very rough!!!

Posting a Chapter Every Day...

...seems to be the solution that gives you the most of what you want: comments on chapters, and relatively quick completion so you can get back to David.

It's certainly fine with me.

I'm ok with...

one a day or one every other day if that works for you hon. Maybe when it's all done you could also make up a PDF file link for the complete story and attach it to the title page. I'm really enjoying the story so I'm good with what ever you decide dear. (Hugs) Taarpa
