Rejections
Simonton's Equal-Odds Rule: "The relationship between the number of hits and the total number of works produced in a given time period is positive, linear, stochastic, and stable" (Simonton, 1997, p. 73).
The only way to increase the chances of producing something great is to produce a lot.
