Lately, when I start a new story I write like the first four chapters or so before I post it so if I get behind on my writting I have chapters saved up to post. I write almost everyday. It's my way of relaxing. If I'm really excited about a story idea, I can't wait to write about it. I think it comes down to how passionate you are about a project, how fast you write, and the freetime available.

I rarely do that. The only time I updated a story so fast was on "10 ways to die...by Suga's hands" and I had every chapter planned on my mind. I didn't write them before hand, only the title and a sentence for each chapter to know what exactly I was supposed to write. Then I updated like what, 7 chapters in a row? I'm still wondering how I was able to do that lol. It really depends on the mood, the time and the inspiration. I was fast at updating that story but my other stories weren't that fast. So I guess it depends...
Everybody has their own pace. There's nothing we can do about it.

It's a little about passion I guess? I'm so into Nyongtory lately and then I write stories because it calms me and I feel better. Plus I enjoy that people appreciate me for writing things like this.
Gonna upload the next os soon ^^ and I worked one month on it! (But it has more than 10,000 words... which explains... a lot... I guess XD that takes sooo much time!!)

Don't know about others, but to me it takes at least three days for a chapter update, almost a half of day of writing, each from those three, that is why i am mostly writing on weekends or if i ever have a whole free day. But what is the hardest is to start the chapter, then it's like an engine, once started it's going to work more easier.
The ideas are coming from here and there, but they got more elaborated in my mind at the time when i'm going to sleep. I never plan completely the whole chapter ahead , the ideas keep coming during the writing process, it's like i am there in the middle of my characters and contribute to the action's and dialogue's developing.
As for the frequency of the updating, i used to stress myself to follow a schedule or to keep a certain rhythm, but in time i concluded that it doesn't worth it, for many reasons. One: if you write only for the sake of the demanding readers, your work could have a lower quality, two: your satisfaction of writing is the most important, even more important than to satisfy the readers, who are not always grateful anyway and reward your efforts, let's be real here!
In conclusion: never stress yourself about the updates frequency, write only when you feel you will enjoy and will have fun writing!

I agree with Amanda. It doesn't matter how long it takes. What matters is posting something you are proud of. The only reason I've been able to update a lot lately is because I wrote a lot but didn't update at all because I was moving at the time. Now I can edit as I type.

Ok not every authors can update daily. It's different from person to person on how fast the can write. It does take a while before I update save me from this but as long as update comes it doesn't matter how long it will take. The more time you use the better the chapter turns out. Not everyone can update all the time you know. It takes a while to write something good. And if you force yourself it doesn't turn out as good as it would if you use the time you need. This have nothing to do if you are creative or not. If you are good at writing or not. It depends on how much time you put into in in till you are happy with the result. Don't focus on how long it will take, focus on writing it. Take the time you need and it will be amazing :) the only tip I can give is to only focus on the writing and not on how long time you use ;)

I agree with DevilsPetal. Maybe they had written it beforehand in their laptop before they posted it ^^

The only explanation I have is that they write the whole story before starting to upload it :)

yeah that's what I am asking myself too xD
