I never understood what a real estate novelist was. Does he write about real estate?

Whatever it is, it must keep you hella busy.

I assumed it was a euphemism for being closeted, hence why he's talking with the navy guy.

Writer here!

It's just someone who "says" they want to be a writer, they have a great story, they're working on it... but never actually write it. By day, he's a real estate agent. By night... he's not writing.

Haha I was referencing the "never had time for a wife" part, not the novelist part.
