how many is too many?

recently someone showed me this article:

Basically, it was advice on how much a writer should write. After reading it, I took some time to digest what I read... for about ten seconds before deciding you should write what you want to write about and quality will always beat out quantity. It seemed to be the popular opinion of most people in the group who also read it.

But after a couple off days, I was still thinking about the article and thinking about how it applies to my own personal story. Right now I have a single novella out there in the world. She is leading the race for the other books I plan for. The remaining two books in my mini-series will be released within two months.

I will then be releasing my first full sized novel in January 2016. After that A new mini-series of novellas and short stories which will release monthly while I plan to release a full sized novel every 4 - 6 months. Will my work suffer because I have these self-assigned due by dates for my work? No. Why? Because I will only allow my best work to go out into the world.

Quality will always beat out quantity in my opinion, but that doesn't mean that large quantities lack in quality. I really think in this new medium of self-publishing there is no set of rules. What works for one of us, will not work for all of us. What works for the majority will not work for the minority. I really think that all you can do is be happy with yourself and meet you goals. Whatever those goals are.
