Nothing aside from just releasing chapters often. Sometimes I write at a fast pace and finish two chapters in a day (~4k to 5k words). Then I space out the releases so my views in a single day spike and I have a decent shot of making the first page of trending, which I've noticed further raises...

I write every chapter in its own Google Docs file. Even my notes got really long two weeks ago, so I had to divide it into one doc for character notes and one doc for plot + setting. I'll probably have to divide the latter soon as well. edit: also i voted for the wrong option in the poll lmao

Woah, whoops.

And do you change the music you listen to depending on what you're writing, or do you prefer no music at all? For me, regardless of whether the scene I'm writing is happy or sad, exciting or slow, I listen to rap songs and sad pop songs. Rap songs give me that burst of motivation from hearing...

They tend to range from 1,000 to 2,000 words, but I've seen one popular story (Rupegia) with a 7,400 average word count. So it varies. Edit: Pick whatever word count you feel comfortable with. Some people feel comfortable writing endings at 1k words. Others at 2k.

I spent an entire day writing and reviewing/editing one 2,000-word chapter on my story for about the first week and a half. I was very careful about avoiding plot holes and inconsistencies. Then I just went crazy in the last few days. Sometimes I manage to get two chapters/4k words done & edited...
