ROFL!!! I will try to keep up with your story while I am out of town, but all depends on what is going on here whether I can or not - just know I will catch up when I get home or whenever possible before then.
If your readership is dropping, you may think about slowing down posting a bit and give people time to read before posting the next chapter. I usually post 1 chapter every 4 -5 days (about once per week), and a good chapter length is between 1,000-2,000 words per chapter. That keeps readers from getting burned out, it is important to keep your reader's comfort in mind with your posting schedule.
