As my latest fiction serial ‘My Bundle Of Joy’ continues, I have decided to test myself further by writing another serial at the same time.
The weather is still bad, and it is still dark early, so why not?
My original intention was to try to run both serials almost consecutively, as an experiment. But I stopped myself publishing the first part of the new one earlier.
I think two serials at the same time is too confusing for readers, and too much to ask for them to read. But I could be wrong.
Let me know what you think.

I like to immerse myself in one of your created world at a time. Thanks for asking.

That seems to be how most people feel. Elizabeth.
One at a time it is.

Pete, I think the only issue for you would be if it caused any of your followers to choose one over the other…

Thanks for your thoughts, John. The majority have voted for one at a time, so I will stick with that.

I think you should finish the one you’re writing before starting another. My motto has always been “one blessed thing at a time.” But it’s up to you.

Thanks for your valued opinion, Abbie. I have written a couple of episodes, but I will not publish any of them until the current serial has concluded. The readers have spoken. 🙂

I’m sure I could keep two straight, but I think one at a time is better.

In our daily lives, we follow multiple threads, why should serials be different? But I think you already have your answer, Warmest regards, Theo

Two posted at the same time would be confusing and time consuming to the readers, Pete. Save the second one for posting on the rainy days, of which occur quite often in Beetly, for posting right after you finish Bundle.

Thanks, Don. Most people feel that way, and i suspected they would. I will be saving it, as suggested.

I also prefer one serial at a time. Mainly, because I do more than just give each serial entry a quick read-through.

I’m going to concur with the folks who prefer one serial at a time. While I enjoy them, they are a time commitment. Like many bloggers, I have reached the saturation point where I seldom add more blogs to follow—so many blogs, so little time. By the way, the length of your daily serial posts is just right.

Thanks, Pete. I guessed as much, but wanted to make sure.
I follow 112 blogs, and I am also at the point where I can follow no more until some drop out.

The weather is terrible here too, Arlene. That’s why I might as well write, as I can’t do much else around here, and lockdown means I cannot travel further afield at the moment. 🙂

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I enjoy reading your blogs, Pete, and I think I could follow more than one serial at a time, but I can only allow a certain amount of time to online reading, so I have to be careful! Having said that, I’d rather skim or ignore some less significant reading matter to be able to read your blogs 😀 Cheers, Jon.
