Writing Excuses 5.24: Author's Responsibility to the Reader with Kevin J. Anderson

From http://www.writingexcuses.com/2011/02/13/writing-excuses-5-24-the-authors-responsibility-to-the-reader/

Key Points: It's all writing-related, but the core is words on paper. Treat it like a job, put in the time, and meet your deadlines. Be professional. Use the mathematics of productivity to be prolific. Set aside working time, and take it seriously. Readers, don't hound writers. Writers, get to work.
( Steady work times words per hour equals? )
[Howard] Do we have a writing prompt?
[Brandon] Dan! Writing prompt us.
[Howard] Oh, dear.
[Dan] Writing prompt. Okay. You're going to write a story about a world in which writers are subject to the whims of their readers on a pleasure-pain system in real time. So as readers are reading your books and enjoying them, you are happy. If they start to dislike them or if they start to get impatient, then you experience physical pain.
[Brandon] This has been Writing Excuses. You're out of excuses, now go write.
