Blogging the novel

I got an interesting comment last night that I was "brave" to post my plot outline and to blog my novel during November because that would really ruin my chances of getting a publisher as that would constitute first rights. Well, that's okay. I think that people who imagine that they will produce a fully publishable product in one month are either superhuman or joking. But the truth is that I have no plans for this particular work beyond NaNoWriMo and the blog where I publish it. What I am hoping to do is get some readership and exposure on what I consider a pretty light piece of fluff so that there might be some interest in my more serious works (that aren't blogged). Even if that doesn't work, I hope that this will be entertaining, both for me and for the readers that do see it. I'd really like to explore further the prospects of non-print publishing, syndication, podcasting, etc. as a next generation form of disseminating literary works. I understand the shortcomings of on-line security and the protection of literary rights, but right now, I'd be pretty happy to see my work downloaded and read by a million people even if I never got a cent from it.

Any thoughts on this? Are you writing to publish or to write/entertain? or both?
