Use at the start of each writing month to sanity-check your buffer. Especially valuable on Royal Road or Wattpad where algorithm consistency matters.
Excel-based release schedulers do this with formulas; this is the same math in 30 seconds without setup.
Net backlog change per week = chapters-written − chapters-published. Positive grows your buffer; negative burns it.
Dry date is the day you run out of buffered chapters at your current rate.
Most successful serial authors keep 6–12 weeks of backlog — enough to absorb life events without missing an update.
Most serial authors keep 6–12 weeks of backlog. Less than 4 weeks risks missing an update during life events.
Not directly. Reduce your weekly writing rate manually to simulate vacation weeks.
The buffer is your stockpile of finished but unpublished chapters. It absorbs weeks when you write slower than you publish, and it runs dry when your release rate outpaces your writing speed.
Your buffer shrinks every week until it hits zero, after which you are writing each chapter just before it is due. The planner pinpoints that depletion date so you can slow releases or build backlog before missing an update.
입력
20 chapters backlog, write 5/wk, publish 3/wk.
출력
Net +2 chapters/week — safe.
You're building backlog at 2 chapters/week. As long as your writing rate stays above your release rate, the buffer grows.
