Fyodor Dostoevsky was once asked why his novels were so incredibly long. He stroked his beard thoughtfully and replied: 'I was paid by the word, and I had gambling debts. Do you know how many synonyms exist for existential despair? I found every single one.'
Charles Dickens was famously paid by the word. Legend has it that his accountant once questioned a manuscript: 'Mr. Dickens, did the character really need to walk through SEVENTEEN different neighborhoods to reach his destination?' Dickens replied, 'My dear sir, he was lost. And at sixpence per word, I sincerely hope he remains lost for at least three more chapters.'
