so i have been rereading bleak house & also rewatching the incredible bbc miniseries & for the first time it occurred to me to look up dickens’ work history.
Definitely plenty of people advocate for tight feedback loops being a big key to skill improvement.
Also Doyle published Sherlock Holmes chapter by chapter (/short story). (And then he killed Holmes because he was fed up with it all; and then audience backlash made him bring Holmes back lmao. Stuff of legends!)
Oooh I read my first Dickens novels last year (Great Expectations, Hard Times, A Christmas Carol) and I love him now. I didn't even know about his own child labour experience, but that makes a lot of sense. I also appreciate the idea that all this posting hasn't been a waste of time for those of us who potentially want to write novels. I think the episodic/serialized novel idea you mentioned here and I've seen you tweet about is a really exciting idea. Can we get everyone doing this? I hope you do itttt
