Which One?

(1). Quality over quantity — the way I see it, it is so much better to write one awesome story versus a hundred crappy books.
(2). I'm not gonna lie — writing 38 stories at the same time will definitely result to 38 DNF books. How can you just keep up with what is happening or which characters is who or where. It's like George Lucas wrote Stars Wars & Indiana Jones at the same time then Luke Skywalker suddenly appeared and saved Indiana Jones against those Nazi. And the lost ark turns up in the Empire Strikes Back as their new secret weapon. Wait wait wait — there might be something special there :)
(3). I'm a newbie writer and it is so much work just to write one book at a time — coz at the end of the day, u want to make an original, spectacular and well-written story.

38 books is not an amount any person can work on, let alone make great each and every time. It's unrealistic. It's one thing to have 38+ ideas that you want to put away for later. I mean, I have 30-ish ideas on a white board I want to tackle later, but I'd be shooting myself in the foot by working on all of them at once, especially if they're all different. I implore you to pick one, maybe two, ideas that really speak to you right now, that most inspires you right now, and run with it. Write down your other ideas, tuck them away, and save them for later. Otherwise, you'll have a quality versus quantity issue. I'd rather see you have ONLY 5 amazing projects than have all 38 that read like first drafts.

I totally agree with what everyone else has already said. It's a good idea to focus on just one and see it through to completion rather than juggle many, unfinished ideas. Once you complete one, you will feel so much more confident to face the next and then the next. I admire that you can do so many at one time but you do have to focus and bring it in to the end game. A story must have an end.

My heartily advice to you: Please work on one project. If you have outline and are confident about writing it then you can give a shot at second story. But 38 at once is insane. I would think hundred times before writing two books if I don't have an outline for them.
Please write one book at a time and see the result.
Anyways. Best of luck.

Working on that large amount of stories at once can be daunting and stressful. Planning and outlining can help with making your story shine to its potential, no matter how exhausting it can be. I'd suggest focusing on one or two that you're the most passionate about and know where they'd go.

So, in short, I'd rather read a well planned out story that had time taken to get its craft to its best capability, rather than a rushed and sloppy one.

I think you're first issue is planning out 38 books at the same time. I would pick one or two you are most passionate about to focus on. Personally, I don't plan or outline, but I know that doesn't work for everyone. I start with an idea, a character and just write. Good luck :)
