What is your stereotypical author?

answers1: There's no such thing as a stereotypical author, any more
than there is a stereotypical reader. Authors come in all shapes,
sizes and colors. As do readers. I'm an author, don't have highly
magnified specs and don't drink a lot of coffee. But my publisher
doesn't seem to mind - he just keeps selling my books anyway.
answers2: Like Arthur Miller (and he was married to Marilyn Monroe)!
Just kidding. Actually, I never picture an ideal author. I just
think about the specific author that wrote the book. If I don't know
how he/she looks like, I imagine them all differently according to the
types of book they wrote, the time period they came from, and the
stories I've heard about them.
answers3: Ones that look like librarians with shrill voices. I usually
picture them in outdated clothes and with lots of pets.
answers4: I imagine an author as a woman sitting at a desk or table.
Her laptop in is front of her, her hair is in a bun, and her glasses
are on. There are bags under her eyes. And of course, she is sipping
her coffee while reading the last couple of paragraphs she wrote. <br>
I wish that was me haha. :]
answers5: English teacher trying to get a novel published. <br>
<br>
Lawyer comes out of the blue with a great story.
answers6: I picture someone with glasses, messy hair- unshaved (for a
guy), messy make up for a woman... drinking coffee, or stopping for
tea, doing drugs often, or smoking a cigarette to clear their minds.
I'm not sure, I'm picturing them during the writing process, not while
they're going out... or anything.
answers7: Slim, lanky, nerdy sort of man. <br>
Ruffled plaid shirt, short brown hair, thick plastic watch <br>
Coffee, laptop and pencil behind the ear.
answers8: My stereotypical author...a woman in her mid thirties, with
light brown chin-length hair, a pen behind one ear, wearing casual
clothes and thick-rimmed glasses, sitting in front of a laptop in a
small messy room, typing away with a cup of coffee by her side. <br>
<br>
That will totally be me in twenty-some years. Minus the coffee. I
dislike coffee. <br>

answers9: I picture an middle aged woman who wears outdated clothes
and doesn't brush her hair very well, eats a lot of junk food, doesn't
clean up after herself, stays up at night and sleeps during the day,
and lives in a hotel room in the middle of nowhere with a cat. This
picture is mostly due to the fact that I met a woman like this at an
impressionable age. Funny thing is, I'm an aspiring author who is half
finished with a book and I don't fit my vision. I am a teen girl who
goes to school and leads an ordinary life. I do fit the shy and not
very organized stereotype, though. PS> I hate coffee.
answers10: A slightly over-weight person who wears a sweatshirt, sweat
pants, and fuzzy socks, no makeup, and sits in a comfortable recliner
with their laptop in their lap and doing everything to avoid writing
their story.
