Well, I really didn't start building up a buffer with Time Gate: Reaper until I started it. I had maybe 3 pages completely ready when I started it? And it updates EVERY DAY lol But I'm one of those people that works a LOT better under pressure, so once I started the series, I started getting more motivated to work on pages and finish the job. Before I'd be able to work on a page for 20 minutes and then get bored, now I can work up 2 hours (or however long it takes to complete it).
So nowadays I tend to have about 10 pages every day buffered and scheduled to post (save for weekends). But that buffer does get used up fast because, again, I update that series every day (while Uzuki is only 3 days a week, which I tend to leave to draw the day off #procrastinationandpressure) It's been a good system so far though, because I haven't missed an update yet with Time Gate, and I'm still going strong (almost finished of Chapter 1) so I think I'm gonna be able to keep it up for a lot while longer u w u
