I think because of the preface that readers would get it. I don't know about without that or SILVER LINING. I do really enjoy reading both. It's fun to read the story and interesting to read the blog post. So, they work together on different areas of the brain.
Rock on! I'm glad to read it and feel lucky to vicariously walk this path with you.
Awww that's so nice of you to say, my friend :') If I ever publish this story as a book, other readers won't have the luxury of the SILVER LININGs unless they go to the Steemit posts, that's why I want them to get the bigger picture even without the added flavor.
Oh man! You should totally publish it! You could make SILVER LININGs into a companion volume. Sell the together or individually! :P
Many of the SILVER LININGs have links and discuss some Steemit-exclusive stuff, so I don't think it would be that appreciated by people who are not in Steemit. But, it makes me think about publishing a brand new SILVER LINING but I don't want to discard the old one. So many conflicting emotions haha!
Ah! In that case, you could write up an "Author's Note" that talks about the original SILVER LINING and even includes the links. Just food for thought! I hear ya on the conflicting emotions! I've been having that as I do the edits on Terra Damnata, I'm converting it to book format, so many hard decisions when reworking it.
Ha! THat's a great idea for the Foreword or Afterword. Maybe I could sneak in link after every chapter so that I could get people to joine Steemit. That's a great idea! Thank you, my friend :D
