Any of you who are following the blog postings know that I have been experimenting with posting frequency across several stories now.
I know, I know, you want the whole story right now. I get it, I really do. I hate waiting as much as the next inner child, but here's the thing.
This works. I am convinced that the current schedule is the best possible interval to keep everyone, if not happy, at least less miserable.
It's all about numbers. As a writer, I would like every person in the world to read my stories, but I will settle for a portion of the membership here.
My most downloaded and read story was originally posted here in 2015. It was posted in a couple of big chunks, not really serialized. It has been accessed 161,322 times. Keep in mind that the number doesn't mean 161K readers, unfortunately, just accessed that many times. . 3 years, 161K times.
My most recent story, Echo, has been up for a hair over three weeks, posting a chapter every other day, and has already been accessed 107,975 times. 3 WEEKS, 108K times!
While I don't expect every story to get do-over stats, that is a very popular and specific genre, I think it does demonstrate that a new chapter every other day is a viable schedule.
