It is interesting that you mention review. I have written a book and I write a blog. I think the blog is much higher-quality than the book, because I don't have to concede to the reviewers, and I don't have my work "edited" by non-native speakers of English.

Also, writing a lot at once makes the stuff you wrote first go out of date. Then you fix that, and the stuff at the end goes out of date.

I am going to stick to blogging.

Nice observation. I published a novel, released it for free and on Amazon, and while I made some money and got some publicity, I find that blogging makes it easier to edit yourself and attract attention, and I got a few perks from blogging that I never saw from writing the book. I had a reader mail me a novel I mentioned regretting not reading, which was pretty incredible, and I met a handful of really neat people I met because they were following my blog posts.
