you will not feel stuck forever. you’re actually slowly but steadily moving forward in ways you don’t always notice.

Since it’s come up yet again: no, Victor Hugo was not paid by the word to write Les Misérables, nor any of his other notable works.

While Hugo may have been paid a word rate for his early serialised fiction, by the time of Les Mis’ authorship he was sufficiently famous that he was able to command advance payment in a lump sum.

Indeed, he famously caused his publisher a great deal of anxiety by refusing to discuss how long Les Mis would be, leading to fears that he was planning to turn in a tiny pamphlet-length piece, then take the advance and run. His editors were reportedly extremely surprised at what they actually received!

The reason that Les Mis is the way that it is is because Victor Hugo is just Like That.

Lmao. I’m currently reading the Waterloo side tangent, it kinda feels like reading one of my grandpa’s essay length texts. I guess Hugo just liked to yap

you don’t realize how important lunch is until you’re wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then it’s 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.

[podcastwizard]

lot of people commenting on this post like "who eats lunch at 4pm that's a terrible time to eat lunch" yes. that is the point. 4pm lunch is inadvisable. 4pm lunch is not the ideal. 4pm lunch makes the mind demons real.
