《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.

The Wolf Saga, Wolf that Devours Empires
The Empire of Human is about to enter a turbulent era. A World Power has fallen. But mere hours after dying, he is reborn as a half-human, half-elf boy named Wolf. The story follows this odd boy as he grows up, his relationship with his father and those around him, his lack of common sense from being raised in the wilderness, and his desire for revenge. Witness Wolf's journey as he aspires to climb to the peak of the world to unravel its mysteries, and as he tries to figure out why it’s wrong to decapitate a street thug when the man tries to mug you. “I mean, the man literally said ‘Money or life,’ so what’s the big deal?” Releases Mon/Wen/Fri. (GMT-ish) Trigger warning. The Wolf Saga may not be suited for you if any of the following disturbs you: - The story will have fighting and killing. The gore will not be explicit, but there will be descriptions such as "head burst like a melon", "instantly turned to cinders", "blood splashed/fountained" etc. Most of the violence will be performed by the protagonist, some of it before he reaches his teens. If such scenes bother you, you should probably give Wolf a pass. - The story will have sexual content. It's there for a reason. Once again, these scenes will not be explicit. Genitals will be mentioned sometimes, but never described in detail. Nude bodies will be described in passing, without too many specific details. If you're afraid of nipples, you should probably give Wolf a pass. - The story will have a decent amount of cursing. If you haven't given up by now, this is unlikely to bother you. Still, I believe I should forewarn you that a number of curse words will be making appearance from time to time. - The story will have no small amount of loss for the main character. If you enjoy novels in which everything is fine, the protagonist makes it at the last moment and saves the day... This is not such a story. Life happens. As a reader, I'm annoyed with heroes making it in the nick of time, so for the sake of fairness I used dice on a number of occasions, making do with the result. Sometimes it was anticlimactic, sometimes it was tragic and it led to the story you see before you. Dedication: This story is written for Tired Mom and Wolf, whose arrival the rest of the pack is eagerly awaiting. Thanks: I would like to thank Tired Mom for her proofreading and encouragement over the years. I would like to thank you, Dear Reader, for taking the time to read this big pile of words.

Cursebreaker
I'm not writing this anymore unfortunately, and I probably won't ever continue it. I guess writing is more difficult than I thought Reto Mason woke up on a mountain, and it was all downhill from there. Until they hit floor, at which point I'm surprised they didn't die to be honest. That is, they didn't die yet. We'll see what happens This is a LitRPG which does have levels and stats, but is more focused on Accomplishments, although expect some more classic RPG stuff in the future. The main focus is on skills, and skill modification/evolution in that regard. Expect some weird 4th dimension stuff eventually, and the weird things that come from there.

Pink Sugar Apocalypse
In a world where normal people live normal lives, a normal man is brutally murdered by faux-feminists protesting at an indie video game company. Awakening in a dark place, he is greeted by the goddess of fate and given a ridiculously sexy offer. Does he have what it takes to travel to a fantasy world and become the only man who can level-up? Can he handle a reality where women are completely in power after his epic beat down, a world where taking damage in battle means that your armor and clothing explodes in a shower of light and jiggle physics? Come witness the spectacle that is... The Pink Sugar Apocalypse! Warning: This story utilizes a ridiculous form of parody and satire. If you require your stories to make perfect logical sense, the main characters to be murder-douches, and just hate ridiculous goofy humor.... please keep looking for a different story. You won't be happy. However, if you like the idea of badass women fighting for love and glory, while wearing skimpy outfits, then please continue. Note: No faux-feminist ham-beasts were harmed in the making of this story. Real feminists are cool, though. Fight the power or whatever. You got the right to vote, use it to make your dreams come true. Warning: This story is rated ages 18+ for swearing, graphic violence, ridiculous premises, jiggle physics, and softcore porn logic.

Stealing Is An Art Form | ✓
Solace Laurent and Sage Reyes never got along. They fought and competed over everything, whether it was grades or afterschool clubs. She hated his arrogant, I-don't-care-about-the-rules behaviour and he loved to annoy her. Not one day went by in high school when an argument didn't break out until he disappeared without a trace. Solace, along with Sage's family and the entire school, thought he was dead. After months of criminal investigations, search parties, and missing persons posters, he was nowhere to be found. But what happens when Sage shows up at her doorsteps in the middle of the night, bruised and bloody?***"Sage?" whispered Solace in utter shock. He smirked at her as he leaned against the doorframe, looking her up and down from her blue penguin pajamas to her oversized t-shirt until he met her eyes. She felt a rush of emotions when she heard his voice after six months. It was the same: deep, unbothered, and familiar. "Solace Laurent, I need your help."
