Are you guys such loser shut-ins that you can handle writing a book, but not promoting it?

It's kind of what all writers have to do, hell even before twitter and all that shit writers still had to do radio, talk shows, all that stuff. Part of the game. Yeah, you wrote a book, now you have to let people know it's out there.

I think it comes down to the realization that they're a shitty writer. For one, they know deep down nobody wants to read their plotless, purple prose bullshit. But if they had to leave the house, face what the rest of the world thinks of their crap, they know they couldn't defend it or promote it.
