101 Reasons to Stop Writing

Polls are a both a fascinating insight into the morals and psyches of the peoples attracted to 101 Reasons, and a wonderful way to pad out a slow week with content that just writes itself.

If you’ve missed any, or you’re yearning to know if you’re one of the herd, all the 101 Reasons Polls are listed below.

Each poll has an Intro link, where I tried to tell people why they should care enough to vote on this bullshit topic, and a Results link, where I detail just how few people could be bothered. You could just read the Results, I guess, but the Intros contain some pertinent abuse you might otherwise miss.

(If you’re one of those people who just have to feel their opinion counts for something, the polls are still open, so if you didn’t vote before, or you’ve cleared your browser cookies, feel free to game the results. I’ll update if they change significantly.)

The polls:

1. Find out if you’re in your own demographic: Did you buy any books by debut authors last year?
   Intro Results Vote
    
2. I slept in most of January: Why do you think Sean’s been so slow to update this month? (This entire year, really.)
   Intro Results Vote
    
3. You can’t lose it if you never write it: Do you back up your writing?
   Intro Results Vote
    
4. It’s Slushpile Awareness Month, all this year: What do you think of the Slushpile?
   Intro Results Vote
    
5. Because ‘professional’ doesn’t always mean they behave like one: What’s the longest you’ve waited for a response to a submission?
   Intro Results Vote
    
6. Because I’m shit out of ideas: What do you want to see on 101 Reasons?

More polls to come, whenever I realise it’s been weeks since I posted anything.
