[the_rck]

I took a nap this morning rather than writing. I'm still waiting for one of my beta readers to get back to me, and I was tired. Maybe tomorrow.

Today's discussion question-- How do you feel about posting a WIP, chapter by chapter? If you've done it, how did it work out for you? If you haven't, what are your reasons?

I did it once, and I'm still working on finishing the story more than a decade later. If I had it to do over, I don't know that I'd start posting so soon. I mean, I had nine chapters written when I started, and I was writing quickly. Then I had a baby, and everything changed. There are still people following the story, though. I have other stories that I've started that I hesitate to post because they're WIP, and I don't know when I'll finish them or even when I'll update them. I want to finish my current WIP before I commit to one of the others.
