Nicolas Cole argues writers should publish frequently instead of chasing one perfect piece. Mozart, Beethoven, and Leonardo da Vinci all produced massive bodies of work before their masterpieces emerged. Volume raises the odds of creating something that lasts.
Writer rule number two, volume wins. Okay, so a little saying that I love sharing with writers is the right way to write is often okay, so there is no point in sitting down and overthinking every single word or every single thing that you're trying to say. Volume wins. Everything is more successful with more volume. And a faulty belief that a lot of writers have is they sit back and they go, well, no, I want the one book that I write to be my magnum opus. You know, I've seen so many CEOs go through this, they think I got to write one book and it has to represent my entire family legacy forever. You know, and that's not a real thing. It really is not that serious. You would be so much better off hitting publish more often. You know, if you look at some of the greatest creative producers ever, you know, Mozart, Beethoven, Leonardo da Vinci, all of them produced hundreds, thousands, thousands upon thousands of pieces of work, right? So they created these masterpieces through voluum. They didn't say, oh, I'm only going to create one thing and then it's going to be this perfect creation. No, they created a ton. And then we just happen to love 10 out of the thousand things that they created.
