Saturating The Market

Next year,
I plan to release at minimum
two stories a month
under one of my pen names.

Two decades ago,
that would have been frowned upon.
I would have been seen
as saturating the market.

Today, there’s no such thing,
at least not in writing.
The consumption is there.
Readers will buy a book a week
from a favorite author.
They are constantly looking for the new
and a book that has been
on the market for a month
is… well… old.

Some authors are playing
by the old rules.
They publish stories
in the same genre
under different names,
and all these names get email
asking why they’re not writing faster.

Look at your market.
Are you putting a ceiling on
the supply you’re offering?
Is this ceiling real
or a figment of the past?
