Writing Full Time? No thanks.
Writing full time is the dream. Or is it? I'm talking about writing with a day job, and why I have no plans to pursue writing full time. Why? I'm discussing cost of living, health insurance, retirement, and all the variables writers need to consider when it comes to supporting themselves.
Warning: This is me blathering about financial transparency for 26 minutes! Oof.
