HOWTO: Become Very Rich by Writing Books

Category: BibliophiliaSoftwareWobosphere Silliness
Posted on: June 11, 2009 2:27 PM, by Blake Stacey

I'm glad to see that the procedure has been spelled out.

To become rich very fast by writing books, you have to take these steps.

1. Start writing novels on your computer. Write fiction novels since they take the least amount of time. But at first they won't bring in much money.

2. When you write your skill will automatically advance. If your skill is high enough you will be able to write more novel types/genres.

Skills automatically advance? Awesome! But wait, there's more:

3. The most money can be made from "Romance Novels". You get royalties for 6 weeks once you finish a book.

Wait, only six weeks? Just how much money does that work out to be?

4. With the writing skill maxed out, you can make around 40.000 every week, which is more than 34.800 you get by purchasing all neighborhood businesses and takes less time to achieve.

5. In three game weeks you should have super high-speed writing, 9/10 novels as best-sellers and 100.000.

Ah. It figures this didn't refer to the real world. But perhaps it is still valuable advice for some famous simulated academics who might need a little cash on the side.

Actually, I think that is a fairly accurate description of the business of tie-in novelizations, except for the bestseller part.

your writing skills will increase only if you make a saving roll.
