The thing is (to me mind) nothing is a guarantee, but if you write books you want to write and they don't sell, at least you still got to write them--but if you write books you don't want to write, and they don't sell, well, you don't have much of anything.
Because we can play the odds a little in our choices (and if there's more than one book you want to write anyway, like you say, it makes sense to do so), but there's no guarantee any book will sell. I think folks sometimes forget that when making these calculations.
