JARDINÓPOLIS, Brazil — SOME writers publish just one book in their lifetime. Others somehow churn out dozens in prolific feats of creativity.

Then there is R. F. Lucchetti, Brazil’s eminence of pulp fiction, who boasts of publishing no fewer than 1,547 books over a long career, employing an array of pseudonyms, including Vincent Lugosi, Brian Stockler and Isadora Highsmith.

Is there a term for the opposite of writers block?

Funny how nobody has mentioned the "quantity" v. "quality" issue in this thread.
