Two-ish? I wrote novel 2 and novel 3 almost in tandem. Sold 3, two got me an agent who sold 4 (and 5, but that was unwritten at the time). I'm back to revising 2.
1 is waiting in the wings. It has issues, but I know how to fix them, but since it happens after 2 and there's probably another novel in the time between 2 and 1...1 can wait a while.
That's kind of confusing...
