If you want to post small sections, under 5k words, start a new thread, that way you can just add posts to your story thread as you go. But, the only people that see your story will be those that come to this forum, which are mainly just the writers. If you have a full chapter to post, lets say around 10-20k characters, post to the Writers Gallery. In Writers Gallery, you'll get more views. Now those are only suggestions, you are perfectly welcome to post smaller paragraphs to the Writers Gallery, and all the way up to 50k characters. It just depends on how you want to approach presenting your story.

Make sure you know your character count, it's kind of important in knowing when you are reaching a standard chapter length. 23k characters is a good average chapter length. 50k character count (45k minus spaces) is a full novel size chapter. I would recommend for new writers to keep it to 5k character count, and build from there as your skill grows. When I first started writing, 300 words was a lot for me to struggle through and get everything right.
