Some people make lots of money and some make enough to get by. Some are lucky enough to have other sources of money, so they aren't dependent on making money from their writing. I know I work a full time job, a part time job, and also write. There is no way I could make a living from writing at this time- actually I couldn't even pay one monthly bill with it. I write because I love stories and telling stories- but it can be hard to fit it in after the demands and stress from the jobs that pay my bill. <br /><br />Hoping that more writing time will come your way- because I do love the stories you weave. :) Stephanie@Fairday's Bloghttp://thesecretdmsfilesoffairdaymorrow.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273270228005303883.post-87572214286246811572017-10-25T06:45:21.358-07:002017-10-25T06:45:21.358-07:00So few people can actually make a living writing. ...So few people can actually make a living writing. And when it's not your primary job, writing can be hard to fit in to life. I'm not very good at the balancing act either (for me, it's the kiddos that require the bulk of my time), but I keep working at it.

I might have a question or two for you soon (research for a story ;-)).<br />It's frustrating when you can't find the time to write but I think that is part of the joy. If you had all the time in the world just to write, wouldn't you get sick of it after a while? I think I would.Brigitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16607138790967163456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273270228005303883.post-70842736477563407852017-10-23T09:05:26.053-07:002017-10-23T09:05:26.053-07:00Great post, Meradeth!

I bet you find a lot of inspiration in your work to write about even if you don't have lots of time to write. As for me, I'm lucky my husband has a decent job so I can stay home and write. Do I make lots of money? No, not at all. I make very little, but it makes me happy.Christine Rainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263694662585963900noreply@blogger.com
