“It’s better to be prolific than perfect.” — Joe Polish

Here is a quick practical application of this principle from Ray Bradbury:

Write 52 short stories in a year rather than one novel. Write one short story a week.

“I defy you,” he said, “to write 52 bad ones. It is not possible.”

At the end of the year, you will have 52 works of art instead of just one, imperfect novel.

“Perfect” is a mirage that no one knows how to reach.

Create the practice. Do the work.
