Interesting. I was going to come in here and ask if this advice was good for me to follow as a long-format fiction writer--but you seem to have answered that.

I know you mentioned long-format, but if you are able to serialize your work you can go for the "release often" format.

Shows like 24 actually do not map out the entire upcoming season from head to tail before shooting - and in fact the back half of the season is entirely un-shot when the season begins airing. This allows show runners to tweak the show based on fan response - serializing fiction may have a similar advantage.
