50 Tips for Writing.
26. Make all the damn cliffhangers you want
Make all the damn cliffhangers you want. Sure, your readers will bombard you will annoyed messages for a few days but cliffhangers are one of the most evil and sure-fire ways to hook your readers. They WILL come back when you update to find out what happens next. They WILL wait patiently (because they really don't have a choice) for you to update. It's important to update at your own pace, don't let anyone pressure you to write any half-assed attempt of a chapter just to satisfy guilt or demand. The thing with a cliffhanger is though, you have to find the right moment to end it. Cutting it short and declaring a cliffhanger before you reach the climax is not very smart, cliffhangers should be suspended a few seconds entering the main pinnacle escalating drama. Then, you can cackle to yourself and listen to your readers yell curses in your direction. A cliffhanger at the end of EVERY single chapter is just rude. Give your readers some de-stressing time from every now and then.
