How fast can I realistically write 2 books without hurting quality?

I want to write 2 books, and I am thinking because my outline is so easy to develop, I could do up to 10,000 words a day. But I am not going to sacrifice quality for speed, because if I delay my book launch by just 1 month, I might improve the quality of my writing by over 14% which means higher reviews online by people who buy my book.

Once my book is done, it does not mean I can get published right away, I have to wait at least 2 months to register my business name, so I do not get sued by the CRA if my tax burden is too high, and not worthy of going unregistered as a personal business when I make too many sales through books.

In my experience coaching writers:

- 10,000 good words a day is rare and usually unsustainable.
- Most serious, non‑rushed writers land around 1,500–3,000 solid words/day.
- For two average‑length books (say 70k each = 140k total), that’s ~50–90 focused writing days.
- Add 1–3 full revision passes per book, plus professional editing and beta‑reader time: usually 6–12 months total to reach strong quality.

I’d plan your launch timeline around the *best possible book*, then fit the business setup to that—not the other way around.

Depends on your level of creativity and imagination, but I presume about a year.
