Would love to hear a few of the consistently-high-quality writers you're thinking about.

I have a pet theory that volume is required for quality, but would love to be wrong so that I can feel less bad about how much I publish!



You are not wrong that volume is required for quality. But it does not necessarily mean all of that volume has to be published. E.g. in music there are bands where every single recording on every single release they did is good and not just a slight variation of another thing that worked.

Mow on the other side you have musicians who have two releases a year and every other of them has a track on it that is really cool.

I am not saying the latter is wrong, I just say the former has more of my respect, because you know that even the rejected stuff of the first band is probably stellar.

Keeping a thought to oneself that isn't fully fleshed out is a virtue.


The Eagles and the Beatles basically took that approach.
