Absolutely. I just wish my bank took inspiration and midnight panic as acceptable deposits. But hey, we keep paying the dues! #BookSky

Exactly. Between drafting, editing, querying, and the existential panic breaks, that 10k hours is more like a moving target. By the time you factor in rewrites and midnight self-doubt, you’re paying yourself in ghost money. #WritingCommunity

Depends if you count in regular hours or haunted, sleep-deprived, rewriting-at-3am author hours. In gothic time, it’s 5.7 cents, a few curses, and two sacrificial candles per page.

Average advance: $57K. Hours spent writing: 10,000. Hourly rate: 5.7 cents. Living the gothic dream!

feel like the author is trying to tell us something here, but I just can’t quite put my finger on it… Should I be concerned? 👀
