Presumably he has a Real Job or at least something that pays living
expenses. $5,000 is a new writer's advance, $20k is at least mid-list.
How long it lasts varies with people's speed. If I could just sit down

Here's an older one from the Asimov's forum, that I don't think ever
got answered:
I am looking for the title and author of an obscure story.
synopsis:
A squad of space marines (or something similar) are sent to
investigate a large medical research station, with which all
communication has been lost.

Haven't seen one as such. The Wikipedia page I was looking at has a listing of
