The fact is, we only have so many hours a day. If you become a realtor, realistically you probably aren't going to come home at night and write your novel. (Unless of course you do, in which case, yay! Good for you.) But if you take a job like technical writing or public relations or work for the trade press -- well, it's not glamorous, but at least you're getting paid for putting words on paper. Which is all I really cared about.

If you can't get a job like that, or you can't stand the idea of writing things that bore you, I agree it's better to be a realtor than to starve in a garret.

How does working as a technical writer make it more likely for you to come home and write your novel?

nayrt

Compared to working in real estate? Real estate eats your life.

I meant more compared to "generic 9 to 5 job" I guess

Er... plenty of published writers wrote their first novel while juggling a non-writing job. I'd even say most of them did, and they probably held down any number of non-writing jobs before selling their first novel. So this "realistically you probably aren't going to come home at night and write your novel" doesn't even apply to HALF of the working writers out there today.
