How much does the average author get laid?

This is the question we really need to answer. Money is secondary.

I can't believe it this long to ask.

Greg Anos · 08-26-2008, 04:07 PM

I think I'd believe the publisher's royalty figures over the claims of the other....

Well, money might directly be involved in some cases.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Some a lot, some not so much. It depends on their typeface.

And I was expecting a punchline involving a flat bed printer.

I think the real question here should be how much the average Reader gets it???

axel77 · 08-27-2008, 05:24 AM

On topic, I think being an author is contraproductive to getting laid... Writing is a lonely task. I never wrote a real big thing, my thesis the largest so far. But you need to encapsulate yourself to get anything done... if you just do social contacts all day (and sometimes you just want, just to not have to sit infront of that screen anymore).. you wont get anywhere.
