You test the waters before you spend money trying to publish it. If it's not working, change the story until it does or scrap the project. You could tweet 4 pages over the course of a month, and if you have enough hungry follower, you can then point them to your website, your amazon.com page, Lulu or wherever you're selling your book. They love it enough, they'll buy it. Look at the Harry Potter and Twilight phenomenon. On top of that, you've already built up a fan base who will spread the word for you.

I've scheduled an update for every hour from 10 am to 11 pm GMT. you can either follow @azhorea, which I've connected to an RSS of my story with Twitterfeed, or you can follow my list on my Twitter page, http://twitter.com/Joshuabizley/azhorea, where you can see the different characters posting their own parts of the narrative. It looks a bit neater, and it makes it so that you don't have to have 14 posts a day of my story on your feed (somewhat bucking the 5 posts a day trend suggested above) I’ve just started a fantasy Twitter novel using multiple accounts and Hootsuite.

As usual, I do research to see if the idea exists previously, as most ideas do. Anyway, this gave me the much needed push to start my own. I've written several stories previously, but I thought I'd like the new challenge. http://twitter.com/OMercifulSummer Check out my story if you'd like. Mind you, I just started, but I would appreciate followers. :) I was thinking of this the other day and decided to start one.
