If you haven't noticed how many changes have been happening in the world of publishing, well you've either taken a really, really long nap or you just don't care. For those of us who do care, the changes have been monumental and eye-opening. Most of the changes revolve around the proliferation of e-readers and e-books. NOTE: You don't have to have an e-reader to read an e-book but many of us do.
So, what's a writer to do! EMBRACE IT!!!!
Charles Dickens was known during his day for serializing his stories/novels. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Dickens), many of which dealt with social reform issues. I can easily see a return to serialized novels with the e-book format. In fact, many publishers have seen a spike in sales of novellas and short stories with e-books.
So, instead of becoming a serial killer, become a serial novelist.

I WANNA E-READER!!
No that's not true.. I WANNA KINDLE!!
Yep! Except I want one that does colour too which I don't think they do yet..? So I'll hang on a little longer. I do have kindle for my PC though and just began reading Mary McDonald's No Good Deed which I'm loving :) Only .99c too so yay! Within my scant budget ;p

I love my Kindle and have been an e-book author long before Kindle, now you can find most of my books there.

Anything electronic seems to be the "in" thing these days. Might as well be books, too!
I love my kindle too, but then I had one of the original rocket e-book readers!
I've read more books in the past few months than all last year, and it's all because of my Kindle 3. It's wonderful to be able to have a book handy.
