Great thread :) I wish it had been there a couple of months ago, or even long before that. Glad it's there now, for those who are new to writing or still hesitant :)
I don't think the queue feature on Tumblr has been mentioned yet (if it has, it's due to the fact that I haven't read everything in detail yet). I think it's absolutely ideal. I take some time in the weekend to sit down and write out all the chapters (or scenes, rather, they're too short to be called chapters) for the coming week. I add them to the queue and don't have to bother about them anymore. It just releases at set times until the queue is empty - you do have to make time/plan to add some more at some point if you don't want it to run out. Seeing as the queue is meant to release posts multiple times a day, you can chop up a larger chapter in smaller bits and not lose continuity because the next bit will release only a few hours later. You can have 1-50 posts released each day, even in a particular timeframe. For a story I would pick 2-4 posts a day, but depends on the length of each post and personal preference of course.
@Julyvee94 If you'd like to add the above statement somewhere on the first pages (maybe the "How often should I update?" section), feel free to edit it into a suitable form ;)
