Well, absolutely nobody knows the answer to that one, do they?
So let's just say we exist, and it's a fact.
What do novelists do all day? I'm a novelist, so I should know, but sometimes it's hard to explain.
We sit at our desks staring into space - this is called thinking and planning.
We look up a word in a dictionary or we Google something, and three hours later we are still reading the dictionary or Googling - this is called researching.
We write 3,000 words one day and delete them all the next day - this is called drafting and redrafting.
We suddenly start typing as fast as we can, wanting to have a panic attack but not having the time - this is called racing to meet a deadline.
So we think, we plan, we research, we draft, we redraft, we meet our deadlines.
Simple!
And then we twitter and blog - this is called marketing. :)
