The cheapest gig means the fewest pages, and thus the least time spent writing it, and thus the smallest amount of dying inside as he types each wretched word.

Also, 240 pages in six days is a lot easier than 320 pages in three days.

My mother once picked up a crate of Harlequin Romance books at a garage sale for about a buck. The back cover of every single one read exactly like these. There must be a lot of desperate writers out there.

Writing is not exactly a high-paying profession. The handful of rich writers there are almost all either purveyors of the lowest common denominator, or else lucked out on a movie deal.
In most cases, both.
That said, I would assume even harlequin romance writers get a royalty percentage.

I would assume the royalty payout on Harlequin Midlist Novel #343 is less than staggering. Connie'll have to write a whole bunch of them.

The most spot-on detail is that Kristi-with-an-'i'-in-Series-Development's signature is a hastily-done lowercase cursive 'k'.
Apologies for the glut of hyphens in my re-ply.

I used to feel that way, too, but if you put a little effort into it it gets easier and is very much worth it in the end. Basically the same skill it takes to be able to read gladi posts, except the LN blogs are almost always mind-blowing as opposed to just occasionally.

One day in a cold Russian October class disparities fueled a mighty, if misguided, revolution.
Now it moves girl-porn.
It's not easy being a socialist.

My favorite bit about this strip is that a different word starting with "D" is used to describe the class issues in each scenario: "class disparities", "class differences", and "class distinctions".
