Reader Poll: How should I schedule Book 2?
Hi Everyone!
With Book 1 of The Tale of Rin drawing to a close, I figured this would be a good time to ask your preference for Book 2.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, Book 2 will be free. There will be no special tier for paid subscribers. Similarly, everyone is welcome to participate in this poll!
Book 1 was pretty polished before I began serializing it (though apparently less polished than I thought!). Book 2 and Book 3 are shorter and have been mostly written and edited. This said, serializing them likely will entail a lot more work than Book 1. More importantly, it entails a lot of uncertainty. I could get bogged down in a troublesome episode or have to add material, and it is very difficult to anticipate this in advance.
What I’m basically saying is that achieving a regular schedule of episode releases will be challenging. So I give you two choices:
I can put in more work up front. This means starting its serialization later, but I likely would keep to a more regular schedule once it begins. This could be weekly or twice-weekly depending on how busy I am with other things.
I can begin serializing it sooner, with the understanding that the schedule will be highly irregular. I’ll try to keep to some sort of work regimen but will issue episodes as they are ready. There could be two weeks between some episodes and half a week between others. In the worst case, if I’m very busy and traveling a lot there could be a bigger gap in some cases.
So I put the question to you: which do you prefer.
Thanks for sharing your opinion on this!
Cheers,
Ken
