《Project Book》How Big a Backlog Should I Have Before Starting?
Advertisement
Try something of the infinite catalogue.
It’s when you publish half of your Material.
Take for example, you create 2 Chapter per Week, so you upload 1 Chapter every Week.
This will give a bit of a rough start, but after doing it for some time you backlog should be big enough to not scare you for a Time.
It gives the benefits of:
1. Able to engage with your readership and community about the story you create. Maybe somebody finds a mayor flaw in your Story, so he points it out and instead of fixing it around the time your backlog catches up. You could instead just update it right there and then, as you backlog early is not that big.
2. The bigger your Story becomes, the less influence does somebody of your readership has on it. You won't be able to change something in the middle of the Story if it has already come that far. So, having a big backlog won't have any problems on it.
3. Trough such a huge backlog, you could use your Time, to engage the Book into different aspects and instead of trying to bring the Story forward you could try to play around the aspects of hiding easter eggs and secrets.
4. You can engage with your community a bunch when your Story has reached a sizable junk of people.
5. It's scaling and will always be scaling with you, your pace and how much or how long you have been ad it.
6. You notice in benefit 5 that it scales with you... to define, you could write 2 Chapters a week and publish 1. Or write 6 Chapters a week and publish 3. So, your emotions and excitement can scale on the current you. For example, you wrote 6 Chapter now you are all hyped up, so you set you upload schedule to 3 this week with a side note of your excitement, it lets you engage more and let it be more focused. Instead of leaving the viewership in the dark about your Situation. Second example BAD, you don't write a Chapter... so you take a break, in that moment you also don’t upload any backlog or chapter, to show your current situation. It all helps in immersing in a Story and making a good Story writer not you know, write himself to death.

7. With such a Backlog your Patreon Post will be ... amazing to say the least, you could make something of a Post every day, but I would recommend posting 2/3 of your chapters. That where your odd numbers come into play. If you have 3 Chapters, then you upload 1 Live 2 on Patreon and keep a Backlog of 3.
8. Now I gave you so many benefits of this Strategy, now what are the Downsides???
Downsides: (I wish I knew them but let’s try.)
1. It's a Live recap of your Situation trough such an Upload schedule, so things Like motivation and Viewership attention could be screwed with, as you upload kinda trough whim and not on a constant and smooth basis. That Week 3 now only 1 then 10 now 5 now 10 again now 0 now 0 again. You can see how it can screw with some. That don't quite care about you and more about your Story.
2. You finish Stories so much faster than its allowed too. Take for example... Your exponential growth we could take Mathematic into the concept but... Your Story will be finished by the time you have uploaded half of the Story... So yeah... (WAIT YOU COULD REMAKE YOUR END XD LIKE IF YOU ARE DESPERATE)
3. Your Patreon my feel scammed, as you haven't uploaded your whole backlog. Making them feel as if you are playing with them or something like that.
4. I have no Fucking Idea too much thinking in this one Let’s finish this.

World Master
Hey! I once lived on your world back in 2056. But that was a long time ago and there’s probably no records of my existence. Or, maybe, I haven’t even been born yet… …I’m still figuring out of the timelines correspond. Anyways, I was or will be, or whatever you want to call it (maybe I am?), John Pitcher, a resident at St. Jude’s Hospital for the Mentally Ill. I was a computer programmer and my parents had me admitted there because I was convinced that I had been contacted by Set, the Egyptian god of chaos, about creating a world. Well, apparently, I’m something akin to the great times a hundred grandson of over 10 000 gods, and they didn’t want me to live an ordinary, dull life (well, except for the god of normalcy, but he doesn’t count). Set gave me three years to prepare myself. This begins right at the end of those three years. [participant in the NaNoWriMo Royal Road challenge] I originally had this as part of the prologue, then I realized that it made a better synopsis. Please note: this might seem a bit clunky because I haven't done a lot of writing, and this is supposed to be a kind of prequel to another story that I plan on doing in the future. I will not be fully explaining everything but instead will be explaining things in that other story. This is mainly to help fill in the lore of the world so that people will have at least a basic idea of how things function. Regardless of that, that story won't be written for at least another year, so deal with it. Note: I am using ideas from several different authors in order to make sure that this can be a proper story. You may or may not recognize where I got them. I am not writing a Fanfiction and do not claim these as my own. I will add to a list of titles below as I find myself using those ideas. World Keeper (obviously) The Wandering Inn The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound (not yet, but eventually) A bunch of others that I haven't thought of yet
