Reply to comment by adorkablecait in TIL to finish writing The Hunchback of Notre Dame within an impossible deadline of 6 months, Victor Hugo locked his clothes away, making him unable to go outside and procrastinate which forced him to do anything but finish writing his book. by Old_Sport7920

I'd happily give my $10 for a verbal 10 minute ending. Or a fan fiction ending. Really I'm just that ex that keeps coming back for closure.

Oh believe me, I'd love to have more books. But I also know that writing them it's just a matter of sitting down and typing it up. A lot of folks see it as just another "punch in, do your daily work, punch out" kind of job. Some authors can do that. Most don't.
