I can write full-time (and sometimes not write) because my husband’s job affords us enough salary and cheap, comprehensive health insurance. I wrote my first novel while working a 9-5 day job, where I’d sit at my desk to write about 500-1K words for work and 3K-5K for book/day.
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.

Yeah that would probably be my husband too. The kind one. Not the chainsaw one.
my husband is such a kind-hearted man, maybe to a fault, bc yesterday a strange man named Sven walked out of the literal shadows of our front yard with a chainsaw IN THE DARK and he was like "yea for sure, cut our trees!" ????

So thrilled to see ALTER EGO out in paperback today!

Eternally proud of this standalone sequel to SECRET IDENTITY, which was an immediate USA TODAY-bestseller, Anthony Award-nominee, and got rave reviews from all over.

I know it mostly comes from trump’s predisposition to simply bribe people, but his “plan” to give us cash to buy insurance in the open market and some Congressional Republicans stumping for it on the shows reveals that conservatives are cool with the idea of UBI if you’re careful not to call it that
After teasing a plan to extend Affordable Care Act premium subsidies—currently on track to end within weeks—the White House has indefinitely delayed the announcement under pressure from congressional Republicans.
Even Trump wants to extend Obamacare tax credits—but Republicans stopped him
Tick, tock: the GOP is desperately trying to run out the clock on ACA subsidies.

I promise you Hegseth would not know the correct order and probably made this claim based on some random post he saw.
This is too funny to delete, but FYI appears not to be true! (see text on medals)

I watched this movie on repeat at my grandmother’s house as a child. Like every damn time I stayed the night and she’d be like, what would you like to watch? And I’d just look at her like, ma’am, you already know. Put in the tape. I’m good here for the text two days. Go on about your business.

I dunno whatever happened to that FBI agent who dropped his gun out of his waistband while breakdancing but he’s either the mayor of a small town or an ICE agent now.

This is what I mean when I say the regime will make it hurt. They will take his pension, his access to health benefits, his family’s access, to punish him for essentially just reading regulation. How much will that affect a member of Congress? I dunno. But they’d try to withhold those benefits too.
