Writing series is tricky. If you try to carve a really long set of draft notes into chunks, and finish and publish the first part, it will generally trash the structure you had in mind for the rest. Actual Part 2, if you write it at all, will go down an unexpected side path.

Planning in longer works is mostly about clearing mines surveying potential cul-de-sacs, not road-building. You don’t want to write yourself into a dead end you can’t back out of, or step on a mine that blows up the whole thing at word 12000 in the series.

This is why writing *proposals* for longer works is really hard. Like chapter outlines. As illustration of a possible path, that’s fine. If people will hold you to it, like an architectural blueprint, with penalties for deviation, then run. Long works are trees not buildings.
