Serialized Story

Certain things just feel romantic - not in the love way but in the old-fashioned, quaint way.  Like serialized stories; bits of a story being told in increments each ay or week or month.  In a world of excess and allowance, there's something very intential and rationed about a serialized story.  You get what you get and you must wait for the next one.  Well, actually you can usually go online and buy the e-book if you can't handle the discipline but...try.  You'll be so much more happy.
So, serialized stories/books can be found online, immediate an in abundance but finding them in the daily newspaper is the ultimate.  Last Sunday was  the first installment of a serialized ghost/love story by Minnesota author Mary Logue and was featured in our Star Tribune newspaper.  Today is the fifth day of the series which will run every day for seven weeks.  I set my alarm a little earlier today, eagerly anticipating a walk to the paperbox, a cup of coffee and an intentional read with my breakfast.
If you on't have access to the daily Star Tribune, here's a link to the story"  Giving Up the Ghost
