On Writing Too Much

The works of prolific writers are often viewed as less-than-literary, like the largely forgotten books of mystery novelist John Creasey, author of 564 books. Even serious novelists like Joyce Carol Oates, author of more than fifty novels, can write so much they lose the critics’ interest. Semi-prolific author Stephen King (fifty-five novels) looks out how we consider highly productive writers, and justifies writing and publishing a lot.
