Hmm, yes that is the tricky thing, being able to actually make a living out of writing. Depends on what sort of writing you want to do I suppose.
Perhaps one solution could be to start on freelance projects and build from there? There are websites that post freelance jobs for writing, and other professions (read up on your legal rights, such as copyright ownership and pay, beforehand. Occasionally those posting the freelance job are either not aware of these or will try to get away with making up their own rules). It's not an easy way to sustain a consistent income unfortunately, but one advantage would be that you can choose projects that you're interested in.
Regarding publishing work, there's no way to guarantee sales, but there are ways to get books out there (own website/ blog, Amazon publishing, small publishers' fairs, social media to name a few). Just because it's not on the bestsellers list (which seems to be mostly celebrities or authors who have already had whole series), doesn't necessarily mean it won't reach people.
As with many other things in life, I'm both. Had several of each growing up, and a certain cat, and at another time, a certain dog, were the best people in my life, and I'll never forget them.
But so many things are divided artificially into binaries for no reason I understand. Like chocolate and vanilla, I love them both and wouldn't be able to choose just one. Same with dogs and cats, except it's out of my hands because the allergies are too severe.
Too bad, because hubs loves animals and they love him back, especially dogs, but he loves and is kind to any animal, except he loathes snakes.
For me, it's spiders.
Is there an animal you can't stand being around?
