What frequency of content updates do you prefer?
Added 2024-07-26 13:09:14 +0000 UTCI assume the simple answer to this question is: "As much as possible as soon as possible".
However: When I started out over a year ago with making visual stories, I did that with the aspiration of at least a page a day. In the beginning, with 10 to 11 hour days in between, I was able to keep up with my own aspiration, but sooner than I wanted I couldn't keep up and burned out a bit.
Even then, if I would be able to keep up with that (and on most days I'm not), the question would be how you, my readers, would prefer to get your content.
For choosing out of the below options you should also know my current work process:
1. I'm writing into the dark. That means I have a general idea about the main characters and where the story is supposed to go, but I haven't created an elaborate story line with extensive details. That keeps the creation process more interesting for me, but it also means there are sometimes twists and turns in the story, that I didn't foresee in the beginning or have prepared for.
2. I create scenes (for example with my current project "Changing Perspective" the initial scene in the living room talking about hypnosis and the bet ending with C.J. watching a hypnosis video) without a specific amount of pages in mind. Some scenes can be short with just a few pages, some might be a lot longer. For my first long comic "Office X-Change" I worked and published in chapters, but that feels a bit too formal for me and depending on the length of a chapter can take quite a while. When I'm done with a scene (or when I think there's a good amount of content with a cliffhanger at the end) I review the created work, check for logic, grammar and spelling errors and then continue with the next scene.
3. Reviewing only after a badge of pages is done, means a single page update might result in errors on that page (until they are fixed/found by me in the later review process).
No matter what the results of the poll are, when a visual story is completed, I will always post the all pages of the completed work in one post (most likely including a PDF with all pages).
