Two days until the workshop and I need to make clear that this isn't just for people who already know they want to serialize. It's for anyone who's ever felt like they're writing into a void. Who has a story that keeps growing past what one book can hold.

Things we're covering in the March 4 workshop that I genuinely could talk about for hours (but won't, because 60 minutes):

โ€” Why the Product Mindset is failing indie authors right now
โ€” What "Dynamic Storytelling" actually means in practice

Serials. Subscriptions. Readers who actually stick around. You know what they say: "Let's talk about it!"

March 4, free, on Zoom: "State of Change 2026: What You Need to Know About Craft, Tech, and How to Build an Unstoppable Story Engine"

I'm talking about why the "write it and launch it" model is a trap, and what Dynamic Storytelling looks like instead. No unrealistic promises, just solid advice!

For me, the answer was serials. Long-running, ongoing, deeply built worlds readers could live in. If that resonates, come talk with me March 4. Free workshop ๐Ÿ‘‡

The question that rewired my whole brain: "What do I want to have WRITTEN in five years?"

Not what how much do I want to earn, or what kind of car I'll be driving, or any other standard "goal". Instead: What stories do I want to exist?

So here's the question I keep coming back to: Why do we keep pouring months of work into a novel, launching it, and then... moving on to the next one? Hoping this one will be the one that hits? That's not a storytelling model. That's a slot machine.

Thanks to fanfic, I knew serialized fiction existed. Then in 2020 I fell into Chinese drama fandom and discovered the Chinese webnovel industry and just... sat there with my mouth open for a while. The scale of it. The reader loyalty. The ongoing income. I got a clue, is what I'm saying. ๐Ÿ˜„

Before the novel existed, stories were serialized. Traveling bards in Europe. Street corner storytellers in ancient China spinning the same tale for weeks. Serials aren't new. They're not a trend. They're actually what storytelling looked like for most of human history. We just forgot for a bit.

On my mind: the novel is like a baby, historically speaking! Writing has been around for 6,000 years. Recognizable spoken language for maybe 200,000. The novel as we know it? About 500 years old at best. Yet THAT became the default format for long-form storytelling? I call foul! #SerialNation
