|
> I'm 1700 words into Chapter 12. Chapter 15 is what should be publishing tomorrow, so I'm three and a half chapters behind.
|
|
>
|
|
> And, yes, that's a real "behind," because I have four Patreon patrons and I promised them a chapter a week. As long as at least one person is sending me money, this is a real obligation.
|
|

|
|
> I'd feel worse about it, though, if I had more patrons. To be explicit, the guilt formula is:
|
|
>
|
|
> G = c*[ln(n) - 1]
|
|
>
|
|
> For c the number of chapters behind, and n the number of patrons. If I don't complete and publish Chapter 12 in the next two hours, my guilt will jump from 1.16 to 1.55. But a single additional patron being added would further increase the guilt to 2.44.

|
>> Guilt is great and all but what's the correlation between guilt and speed of release?
|
|
>>
|
|
>> What about speed of release and chapter quality?

>>> The machine learning algorithm is hard to decipher, but I think G is strongly signaled in the fitness function for raising priority of writing over other creative activities and hobbies.
|

|
|
>>> I don't "push through" just to get a chapter released. As far as I can tell, the chapters don't significantly vary in quality. If you feel otherwise please provide feedback.

>> Aeromancer posted his drafts for 14-17 and the outline for the rest of the story though. At least we get that.

|

|
|
>> I didn't downvote, but my guess would be a combination of the meta-element (this isn't posting a rational story so much as *about* a rational story) and an attempt to discourage badgering authors.
