Just out of curiosity, what is the most books you have ever had to write for at once?

I had a nightmarish smalls stretch of time where I was working on seven projects at once, it was far, far too many. Four is about what I can do comfortably.

It’s not the writing time, so much, as all the planning beforehand and all the stuff that goes along with each book (interviews, art direction, corrections and edits, speaking with publishers and editors and on and on and on). Some days, you can spend the entire day just doing that administrative stuff and get no writing done at all, and having to keep artists fed with script can cause a lot of stress. If anything goes wrong, if you get sick or there’s an emergency, it’s a domino effect that is very hurtful to a LOT of people.
