If you have ever thought that my journalism or my first book were net positives for the world, understand that they probably would not exist if I did not have a spouse who paid the mortgage. If I'd been a solo earner/parent, I likely would have left criticism, journalism or book writing long ago.
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.

BREAKING: The Trump EPA is abandoning a rule that would strengthen limits on air pollution.
The EPA will no longer defend Biden-era limits on fine-particle pollution, which causes heart and lung disease.
Scientists say this move could lead to dirtier air and more deaths.

Did a Google image search for young Joan Hickson and most of the results are this image on the left which is clearly not her. The one on the right is her. People truly cannot bear to let a woman have a big nose.

In all seriousness, the thing we’ve lost is that in “the old days,” your undergarments were what made your body the fashionable shape. There was no expectation, as there is now, that your body should be made into that shape by itself. Clothing did the work. And I like that idea.
