hello! ❀
I'm thinking about posting my novel here. I asked on a novelupdates forum and they said this is a good place to post. I just want some general advice. ₍ᐢ⑅ᐢ₎
I would like to ask if I should start posting (I have prologue + 4 complete chapters + 3 drafts) or I should wait and save up a lot of chapters and then start posting? If so, then how many chapters should I have completed in the reserve?
I don't mind both options, but I wanna know what people usually do. ₍ᐢ ̥ ̞ ̥ᐢ₎♡
Thank you!

Welcome!
You might want to wait if getting on trending is really important to you, but otherwise, just do you.
By the way, here is a super special awesome promotion opportunity I recently cooked up.
For every poem you submit, I'll also post a link to a book you want to promote!
My goal is to release a chapter a day:

Consistency. Writing and posting is like exercise, keep at it or you’ll find reasons not to do it.

Well idk bout how many but people do advice not to upload all at once. Update frequently so your story shows up on the latest series and latest update table.

Depends on your upload speed and chapter length. Do something you are comfortable with, I did a 2k chappy every other day and a 3k chappy every 3 days which puts it at 1k words a day per every novel. I don't really have a backlog of more than a week ahead but I write on the fly. Feel like it puts fire under my bum so I continue writing, with a monthly backlog I feel like I would laze around too much and lose my train of thought.
