This article was very early in the story of the Asimov's prolific nature (or practice). He had written 108 books at the time, and published over 500 at the time of his death. I've often thought that the most valuable thing (out of many valuable things) one could learn from Asimov would be his work ethic. He wrote in one of his autobiographies that he never got writers block because he was always writing. Even vacations included time for writing.
