Well written & it's about black holes? I'm in. First chapter is great!
Beyond the Horizon
Soon, the world will end. It will not end in fire or in ice. Rather, it will end in darkness. Can humanity overcome space and time itself? To survive we must turn science fiction into fact yet again...

I’ve seen a whole range of strategies, and I don’t think the amount you post correlates with how successful you are. Some people post one 2K word  excerpt, other people post 30 chapters.

I posted the first 3 episodes of my book, which are around 10K words each, during the contest I participated in. I think the majority of readers read the first episode, at the very most; I’m glad I have that much posted, but I’m also glad I didn’t spam my followers’ inboxes with 30 small chunks of writing. I also really don’t expect anyone to read all of it - but it’s there if someone wants it.

The absolute most important thing, I think, is that the first thousand words you post are very strong - as cleanly edited as you can make them, strong voice, a decent introduction into the writing style people should expect to get from your book, etc. Most people won’t read more than that, and it needs to be good. It should be enough for readers to have confidence that giving you their money will result in getting something decent in return.

    It’s 7:48 in the morning, I haven’t even had my coffee yet, and I’m watching as they’re hauling my body out of the river. I’m an Upload, a clone. They’ve mapped my genes, replicated my DNA, made a copy, and now I need to solve my own murder.
    P.H. James liked Terminus
    Because I’m always curious about other authors’ processes (and because any bout of writing needs a bit of procrastination), I thought I’d share the playlist that has evolved alongside this project. I’ve found music’s a great way to keep a piece of my mind in the story when I’m otherwise working/driving/etc. It’s always exciting when you stumble across a song that has a certain vibe or a string of lyrics that evoke the characters and themes. Plus, rearranging the playlist totally counts as "working," right? Sure, it does.

    So, here’s the Terminus playlist:

    "Kill Your Heroes" - AWOLNATION
    "All My Friends Are Dead" - Turbonegro
    "Dust" - Haelos
    "Doing It To Death" - The Kills
    "Anyone" - Moving Units
    "Vertigo" - Mini Mansions
    "Heaven" - Depeche Mode
    "To Die For" - The Bohicas
    "Take The World" - She Wants Revenge
    "Backdrifts" - Radiohead
    "Spirits" - The Strumbellas
    "Colours" - Grouplove
