LOL!

Good thing I didn't take this quiz before I started my third novel. ;)


You are 46% likely to finish your novel!


Well, everyone wants to lead an exceptional life. Few things are as exceptional as shaping the world with your raw brainpower and ability to spin a yarn.

If you scored low, just think back to the questions of the test. Each was pretty clear in describing the kind of personality and methodology required to finish a real novel.


Regardless, please avoid all vanity publishers, scam literary agents, and any paid editing services. Money should only flow towards the writer. Anybody who asks you for your money is a scammer, not a stepping stone to your writing career.


Good luck with your career!

I got 73%, and I don't have a hope. Okay, well, a hope, maybe, but not a 73%-sized hope :)

So far I've gotten the lowest score of anyone I know. ;)

And probably written the most books! Which is what counts :)

Well, selling them would be nice too. ;)

I didn't score much higher, and I've finished 10, sold two. Of course, some are unsalable in their current state because I was clueless.
