Update: July 25, 2023 This experiment I have outlined has been completed, and the complete novella, Dandy and the Dognappers is now available to buy. I am going to remove the actual scenes, but will leave the mini-biographies available to read. Since the experiment so successful, I will be putting up other short format stories in this fashion before publishing.
Daily Diary, May 7, 2023 Day 978:
As an experiment, I am going to start posting scenes from a story as I write it. I will also post some of the background material I assembled before I began writing the story, including character biographies, and setting descriptions.
These will be first drafts, which means they won’t have gone through my usual editing process. Once the story is complete, I will take the story through my usual editing and proof-reading process and publish it as an ebook.
I don’t know how many of you will enjoy reading the story as it is written (I hope to get a scene or two done a week), and how many of you will prefer to wait and buy the story when it is polished and published, so I will be asking for feedback at the end of the process from you.

Looking forward to the bits and pieces of Dandy! It’s fun to read the progression of a story in little bits then read the story whole.
Interesting concept. In a way you include us in your writing. I think it’s a grand idea to see how a writer progresses a story.
