In the replies to it I was asked how to balance quantity and quality when it comes to creative work and here's my response:
Quantity and quality are not an either/or and neither matters more (or less) than the other.
Aim for quantity.
Aim for quality.
Do both to the best of your ability.
Don't use one as an excuse to not do the other.
Now, on to this week's ideas...
