So. Absolutely nobody (well, smaragdina might) will respond to this, BUT. I MUST ASK.

A Story Not About Wars or Heroes is going to be long. We're talking easily over NaNoWriMo length, because out of three and a half chapters plus a short bit that's being dropped in further down the line, I'm already hitting at least 20k words. Ahahahah. Granted, edits are dropping wordcount instead of increasing it these days, but it's going to be big.

And it is going slowly.

I'm about to hit the beginnings of the plot and the fighting and the awesomeness, but I don't know how much that'll speed up things. Terea, my MC, is a bit of a quiet subtle character for a LONG time and both writing her and then subsequently editing her to be less boring and more subtle (such a hard line to walk, but I think I'm getting it- slowly) is making me take my sweet time.

So!

Question!

Couper la Poire en Deux is going to update whenever the hell I feel like it, unlike how I handled Temper, Temper.

Which method should I use for A Story Not About Wars or Heroes?

Should I update whenever I have a chapter and hope the guilt makes me write faster, or should I get a sizable backlog and then go to a strict schedule? The latter has the problem that I produce that backlog SLOWLY... but it is more reliable.

Thoughts?

Fic is going to be somewhere around twenty chapters, possibly more, from a quick estimate. The whole thing's plotted, at least!

(Also, can I just say, my backlog of ideas is getting ridiculous? And that's NOT counting The Adventures of Lia Surana that keep popping into my head - I REFUSE to write them. TOO MUCH.)

'tis better to have a ridiculous backlog of ideas than none at all.

I'd update when you have goodies to update with, but that's me ^_^.
