teen of the series had been issued, one
every two weeks, and the other four ex-
tensively advertised to appear on certain
dates, the author fell i'll. The publisher
sent for one of his extra writers. who
was employed on a daily newspaper, and
arranged with him to take up the work
and carry on the central characters UNI
changed. In order to prevent delay in
getting out the stories as advertised, the
extra writer had to read up the career
of the hero from the start and write
four novels of forty Thousand words each
in twenty days. The task was success
fully accomplished. and the writer in
question did not lose an hour from his
regular work as a reporter. Devoting
only nights and Sundays to the stories.
he dictated them to a stenographer,
working sometimes six and seven hours
at night at a rate of two thousand words
per hour.
The regular writer's of such stories,
men who do not attempt any other work,
are able to produce one story of forty
thousand to fifty thousand words a week,
for six months or a year, with compare
tive ease. Under pressure, they can
readily write two a week, but could not
long continue that rate of production
without a period Of complete mental and
physical rest. The author who attempts
to lay out schedule of his story, to
work out a plot to the end in his mind,
and name all his characters in advance,
cannot write dime novels He must be
able to take a title, q name and an incl
dent suggested by the publisher, and
write story of a specified length, letting
the plot grow and develop as he writes.
He must invent names as he forms the
letters that spell them and create a
thrilling incident or climax for each chap
ter.
Virtue must always triumph, in the
dime novels, and vice be overthrow, the
desirable consummation being achieved
invariably in the last chapter, and the
hero must be an example OF all the vir-
tues. Nor must the villain be too wicked,
for in certain respects the novelty of the
dime novel is very rigid. II may surprise
many persons who denounce such fiction
as wholly bad, to know that the pub
Usher win not permit a line or situation
that might so much as suggest indecency
or vulgarity. The villains as well as the
heroes all swear under their BREATH
and oaths are never used in the lines of
the story. -Four or five large publishing
houses In New York produce tons of such
literature every week and the business is
conducted in a systematic way. There is
the sharpest kind of competition in the
trade. and the writer who can suggest
and work out new and novel plots or
situations will find a demand for all the
material he can produce.
