what are peoples thoughts on why fiction writers are producing so much less work than in the past, say up into the 80s but moreso w/r/t the writers of the early part of the 20th c. for the most part we dont have major writers who publish 10, 15, 20+ books anymore.

I’m sure many other former care kids are feeling the same as me this week, mainly appalled that both the stigma of care-experienced children as “less than”, inherently damaged - as well as the perception of their disposability - has been legitimised by the BBC
