Re:Writing books is not really a good idea

I would call it more of a hope than an expectation. Really what I'm trying to figure out is if it's possible to monetize a niche audience (with fiction content) and make a living from it. I guess we'll find out...
And thanks for the luck!
> Most writers do it because they love writing
The funny thing about writing is that writers mostly hate writing. Writers like being writers. They also like having written books. But the process, they despise.
This is very different from other arts. Musicians enjoy playing music a lot. Performers, in general, love to perform. Even painters, I think, like to paint.
Not writers.
Agreed. Most writers do it because they love writing, not because they expect $100k/year. The money comes after the success. I wish her luck
