What did this mean for the stories? For one thing it meant that if the author killed off a character, and the audience got angry about it, there wasn’t much that could be done - unless of course the character had perished in a shipwreck or something and the body hadn’t been found. If a series was popular, the author was encouraged to keep it going and stretch it out, which is why some of these classics are very, very, long. Some of the classics were written as complete novels and broken up, but many ( Count of Monte Cristo to name one) were actually written serially, with authors scrambling to get chapters in on time for the next publication. Was it like with network shows where if the ratings weren’t at a certain level pretty damn quick the editor would pull the plug? Did writers beg?

The arrogance!Īnd then I thought about how novels used to be written in olden times, and how it was probably easier to get published on account of not everyone in the world thought he or she could write a novel, and how a lot of the classics were serialized in newspapers. I thought, “We can’t just keep buying more mugs.” I have some mugs I had made to promote Blood Diva, a near-porn, vampire, novel I self-published years ago, which didn’t exactly become the next big thing. Some bottles fell into the sink, smashing the mug. I had rearranged some spices on a shelf above the sink. The show won a Golden Globe that year as well.This morning, I broke a mug.
