#YAIndieCarnival: Serial Novels

This week we're talking about serial novels. To be completely honest, I'd never even heard of it until I learned that it would be a subject matter for this week! Serial novels? You ask? Why?
My thoughts exactly... the idea scares me. When I write a novel, I often go back and make drastic changes (don't we all?) that alters the entire feel of the book. What on earth would I do had I already published a chapter and wanted to change it?
I suppose it's a brand new challenge but not one that I feel ready for... at least not yet anyway. Perhaps I will change my mind if opportunities present themselves but I can't see it happening myself.
From a reader's perspective, I also am not keen on the idea. When I'm reading a book, I WANT all chapters right there and then. I don't want to have to wait for next chapter to be written!! Heck no!!

It's a bit like TV shows... when I'm totally enthralled by a show, I hate it when it suddenly ends and I have to wait a week... a whole week... to see the next episode. As you can tell, I'm not the most patient of people. And when a show ends on a cliff hanger and we have to wait a whole season to find out what happens... well, I just wanna scream! I would be exactly the same with the book... actually, possibly worse. What do you think? Are serial novels for you?
