Most writers don't earn enough money to write full time.

Plenty of books were written by authors who had to work for a living. If you tell yourself, "If I just didn't have to work, then I'd finally have time to write that novel," I guarantee that you wouldn't do it.

I've written 10 novels because I had something inside me that was dying to get out, not because I had enormous amounts of free time.

I like writing, but never wanted to be a professional writer. There's just no original stories I've always wanted to tell.

But I can't think of many published writers who don't have a day job, a partner making enough to support them, or both, or, in the rare cases where someone makes enough to live on just from writing, they had one or both of those things before they made it big.

Either that, or at least one rich established author parent.

Yeah, I love to write, and I hope one day I can get something published professionally.

But yes, I would definitely want to have a steady job as well, because, well, I gotta eat and have a place to live :p. And even if I were lucky enough to get something published professionally, I can't be guaranteed that'll keep me set for life financially.
