"I went through some of this a couple of years back when I was planning to write a book on teenagers and the internet, in French. After many months of not getting started on it, I realized that I just couldn’t relax enough to dive into such a daunting project whilst I was worrying about making ends meet. So, I started thinking and asking around, trying to figure out if it was realistic to hope for an advance that might cover my essential needs for six months or so, the time I thought I needed to research and write the book.
