In 2022, I embarked on a two (2) year mission to make $34K/year (a “living” in my county) solely on writing. If I was making less than that, I’d “put on pants and find a real, soul-crushing job.”

Did I make $34K/year on May 1, 2024?

No.

Did I put on pants?

No.

Did I realize I already had a real, soul-crushing job and keep writing?

Yes.

My goals and life are different now. If you’re curious about the financials of indie writing, I post financial transparency reports on my Patreon and Bob McGough posts his on his blog. Spoiler Alert: It’s not great.
