Right, this is the last time I'm commenting on this because both you and katsunami have completely missed the point I've been trying to make and, quite frankly, you're "quote" there is also highly insulting to both the average reader and myself.
This has nothing to do with bestsellers. It has to do with quality and the idea that just because a writer is able to produce a large volume of work that therefor all of it must be crap. I'm not saying that all of their work is going to be the greatest thing ever but it's not going to all be crap either. Plus just because a writer spends a lot of time and effort on something doesn't automatically mean it's going to great either. I've read more than one novel that I know the author spent months or even years working on only to not be able to get past the first chapter or even the first couple of pages.
But then again, what do I know as apparently I wouldn't be able to recognize quality writing if it bit me on the ass.
