How many of you have heard of Corín Tellado?

This is from her Wikipedia Page:

María del Socorro Tellado López, known as Corín Tellado, was a prolific Spanish writer of romantic novels and photonovels that were best-sellers in several Spanish-language countries. She published more than 4,000 titles and sold more than 400 million books which have been translated into several languages.

4000...

I was gunning for 1000, when there are people who wrote 4000!

Goal updated: 4001

That lady is my new HERO!

I've never heard of her but 4,000 books is a crazy number, she must have been crazy dedicated to reach that amount

Imagine trying to come up with something new when you write the draft for romantic novel #4001

Haven't heard of her but I've beard if Isaac Asimoz, who wrote an average of 1000 words a day in the first 20 years of his career then wrote an average of 1700 words a day for the second 20 years

I have just 3 ways: Antique BL, Medieval BL, Modern BL. I juggle between them from time to time.

Sounds like a case of having a few template characters, a few template situations, and a few template developments. Now roll the dice and the only thing you need to be careful about is that the similarities aren't too obvious for the last 5 books or so. After the first few books, she just needs to change or replace the names and chapter numbers and do a little bit of light editing here and there.

But kudos to the dedication of numbers go brrrrr

First time hearing about her.

I'm aware of her, though I understand that we all have our own paths as authors, thus I won't compare my progress to hers...or anyone else.

Well, one of the reasons an author might lose his/her motivation to write is looking at others' progress, 'realize' their efforts are 'not enough' and everything is just a 'waste of time'. I purposefully put the ' ' on the word realize because I believe that we should do things at our pace, and we ought to compare only against ourselves.

Do take note it may work to some people, but not everyone. We all have our paths to success, after all.
