These are the Facts. I also had the online writing dream. Today, I understand writing is a luxury hobby just like coins collecting. To write happily online, people should have stable income. The possible ways for a writer to success online is to write how to make money, selling products or selling his or her creativity for pennies, writing to popular topics, to sustain a stable lifestyle. Book publishing is the only way to earn some money with a lot of promotion. The good thing in online writing is the writers show human attitude and inspire others to do the same. I didn't give up my writer's dream but firstly I need stable monthly income from investments /regular 8-5 job kills creativity/ to not go into poverty.

The way my anxiety is set up, I need consistent income (like from a 9-5) to be okay. Which is what holds me back from jumping to writing online full time. I have a decent day job that I like and writing is a hobby, I would like to earn a decent income from it but if it doesn't happen, I'm okay with that too. Thank you for this honest work. I related with so much that was said.
