And the folks who are actually writing full-time generally only got there after years of day jobs, family support, or both.
The point of sharing this is not to demoralize anyone, but to let emerging writers know they're not failing if they can't make a living off writing alone. Almost no one can.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.
I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

book’s been out a month! sales have been… existent, at least, so that’s good. highs and lows. but on an artistic level, I think I’m calling this one a full success.
when you’ve got both medical professionals and chronically ill folks going “YOU GOT IT RIGHT!!”, that’s worth so much

book’s out! hospital gothic, more claustrophobia and slippage of reality, more medical minutiae than most people need, a sinister whiteboard. get it where you get your books but here’s an option:

Just finished The Graceview Patient, which I'd pre-ordered bc I loved The Starving Saints so much.
TSS was GORGEOUS and if you liked Groff's Matrix, you'll love this one even more.
TGP was amazing but also a bit too real for me. Some traumas resurfaced. Read if you're ready to pick your scabs. 💙📚
