A Story Online?

Following on from yesterday's scribblings (yes, I'm still thinking about a possible Challenge) I might have a go at writing a story, where each daily posting is a new chapter, and the whole thing would build up as you read it. That would give me a focus to my writing, rather than just having me spout stuff out as-and-when I felt like it. It would also mean you'd be reading less of my inane waffling and seeing more worthwhile content (in theory). I think I thought about doing this a few years ago, around Christmastime. Or maybe I was just thinking about thinking about it, then thought it was a thought not worth thinking, and binned it. There is a memory, though, somewhere in the recesses of the corners of my tortured mind, where I had the idea to write a Christmas story, and publish one chapter per day in December. And then, like most of my grand schemes, it spluttered and died before it even left the first station.
I've been thinking about an idea for a murder mystery story though, so maybe that's what I should get on with now. Maybe I commit to compiling chapters each day and posting them straight up for you to read. I could do that in February, which I know doesn't give me much time for plotting and planning, but maybe that's a good thing. If I HAVE to post a chapter regularly, then I HAVE to get on with it and write it, whether I am feeling a flash of inspiration or not. And maybe that commitment would be good for me. And maybe, at the end of the month, there'll be a complete story that I have created, with a likeable central character and a satisfying denouement. And maybe I could then sell it on as a book and make a few quid.
And maybe I should stop using the phrase 'And maybe' so much in this blog today.
Anyway, it's an idea worth considering....
