OK People, Tell the Truth.
Between rewrites and multi querying, how often do you really check your emails for agent responses?:TheWave::PartySmil
I'll start with my number: About five times an hour, minimum.
How about you?

I used to check at least once a day, sometimes even more.

My phone is synced with my Gmail address (gotta love Android), so I would receive an alert every time an email arrived.

I'm some kind of weirdo, I suspect: once a day, maybe twice. No more.

I try to get out of the house, or at least away from the computer, as much as possible and focus on something else. But when I am online...a lot.

I have something like a dozen short story subs out as well as edits and other things, but although I check my email pretty much every time my phone dings (it's completely Pavlovian), I am not looking for editor responses or expecting them. They're always a delightful surprise. :)

Wow, thank you everyone for your honesty! Does it look to you as if these numbers average at least a few times per hour?
I'm still checking at least five times an hour!

Check email? What does this mean?

My email is ALWAYS on...on my android. It dings when an email comes in. So I ALWAYS know. I never specifically 'check' my email.

Not for responses, but right now, since I'm running a web comic, I literally keep a Chrome window open with Google's live statistics analytics, just to grin when someone comes to the site, since I can see it happening instantly.
