I had to unfetter some pretty unrealistic ideas about what a career author is capable of on their own.

As I recall the Animorph books came out monthly. To a child, the course of like 5 years is a lifetime so it seemed plausible that 1 person could churn all that out themselves.
But after getting real work-world experience. I realized their scheduled must have been -write it in a week, maybe less- so it had time to be edited, approved, printed, and distributed.
Possible for a children's book, I guess. But not something they could do continuously for 5 years.
