I post them as soon as I finish editing them. I started my story with 3K words per chapter and the general outline for it; posting on random days on March. On April, my day to post became fixed. I post on Saturdays, and the number of words increased to 4K. At this point in the story most of my second characters and cannon fodder became main characters, screwing my outline except for major events. So now I write 5K words per chapter and rest on Sundays to avoid burning out, using the weekend to get ideas for the plot, connecting the dots to the major events. I usually finish it on Friday and edit on Saturday.
It's a disadvantage when I can't work, black outs and getting sick being the main reasons, but I always manage to post weekly by making my chapter shorter.
At first I was obsessed over statistics, but I managed to calm myself and stop paying attention to them.
I recommend it? Unless you're quick-witted and have good memory, then no. I didn't understand my characters until chapter 6, so there's a lot of inconsistencies. But I needed to start doing it right away and get experience, avoiding perfectionism at all costs.
