I’m writing a novella scene by scene in PSILY. It’s curated and each story stands on its own but they all go together, too. I’m so glad you’re talking about fiction! I think there may be an uptick in popularity soon.

I have a precise plan for writing a novel in serial form on Medium. And this advice is perfect timing for me! Great ideas, Zulie. I started a new novel then after a few days, remembering how long it takes to actually complete a novel - even the rewrite (or many of them), then formatting into kindle format, I wondered if there was a way to do it on Medium. Your ideas are perfect, Zulie. I'm willing to start putting up chapters within 2-4 weeks from now. It may end up being a novella, so I like that flexibility by serializing it on Medium. And NOW I have to create a space for the articles I have written and then add a whole lot more. I'm having perfect-timing moments this morning - thank you so much! And get your novel started. I wrote two complete ones while I was sick as a dog waiting for a life-saving transplant. And I finished them both before the transplant!!! It was the most fun I've ever had - Just do it!

Wow, this was super helpful. I’m going to put this into practice right away.

This is helpful! I just started on Medium and love it partly because, as you say, it's not intimidating. You just start. Great video.

Thank you. I just asked about this on your "6 Harsh Truths" video. I appreciate you.

Great content! Just discovered your channel and really like what you are doing! Subscribed!

I too am interested in writing fiction, so thanks for sharing. I have written some semi-successful fan fiction, but have yet to write anything original, but someday I would like to. So, thanks for sharing.

Wow ur so relaxing to looking and watch ❤️ thank u 🤗

Thanks for sharing!

Good plan.

Good video!

I think Vocal Media would be a good option, possibly better than Medium, for writing fiction. They have a whole community (called Chapters) intended for serialized things, and in general fiction seem to be more prevalent and popular on VM than on Medium.

aye, hay, awesome. also, send us a notification when you live stream

Many thanks

I was one of the people who asked about fiction so thank you 😀 In the month or so I have been on Medium I have written mostly on programming and they have done reasonably well for a beginner, about 5000 views so far. I also wrote one short story and it has had a grand total of 0 views which I'm not too upset about as it isn't really a mainstream part of what I want to do. However, I have a few other ideas for short fiction so maybe I'll stick with it and try to promote them better. I joined 5 Facebook groups recently and will try to be active on them. Do you or anyone else find them useful, either for getting advice or promoting Medium stories? I noticed you can add stories to series although I haven't done so yet. Maybe you could use them to group chapters of a book. Can't wait to read your fantasy novel, hurry up with Chapter 1... (Sorry for the long rambling comment. I'll go away now!)

And I thought I loved Cheez-Its! 🤣 Great channel Zulie!

Hey zulie, its been 2 weeks since I published my article but the site still says ' we are processing the story hang tight'. Does that mean it's rejected ?

I wonder if there are other sites where you can post your fiction stories. I wouldn’t publish a novel or any long stories, I would think medium would be a great place to publish short stories

Medium vs Personal Blog? Which one is good for long term (considering brand value, earning, growth, etc)? If possible can you make a video on this? Thanks :)

Could you do this same thing on your own website? I wanted to do a fiction blog, or a post by post book.

If I want to write about multiple topics, say programming and life advice, would it better that I create 2 Medium accounts for that? Otherwise I imagine its hard to brand yourself.

Do you write on other writing platforms other than just Medium? Just wondering

That is a big box of Cheez-its lol!

I wanted to know how the third cheezit was gonna do.

Me again, sorry, just one more question. I got a notification earlier saying someone had highlighted one of my articles. What does that mean?

Fiction is a tough game anyhow. Actually, Wattpad sucks right now too. They took down their message boards, which was the main way you used to be able to get hits.

But what about Mediums new rules that if you publish anything on Medium they own it and can sell your story? Is it still worth it?

Hey zulie Hope u doing well! Could u pls tell me some other portals where we can share our fiction ✍️ Thnx

Hm. I never thought about posting each novel on its own newsletter. Of course, I've been on Medium for two years, too, and I pretty much am a total failure. So, probably wouldn't work anyhow! If you can't attract an audience, you can't attract an audience. Heh, maybe I'm not much of a writer anyhow.

My idea is not built on the importance of sequential chapters. It’s more like dropping the diary of a fictional character and having a laugh at him and yourself when apply.

I have some questions, do I send it to you via gmail, can you see it thank you Zulie

A veryyy dull ambience in ur room !

it is yes, i hope more people start doing this. if i see another self help, or political whatever.....im a blow my brians out

Would you say this information is still relevant today?

The downside is that your work could & most likely will be plagiarised and be distributed on other sites.
