So I’ve been saying for quite some time that my big dream is to support myself and my family with my own writing.

As of this moment, I make most of my money writing for other people.

And, as I write for those other people, I think, “Wouldn’t it be nice if I made this kind of money just from people buying my books?”

So the dream is to slowly transition from writing for others to bringing in lots of money from my very popular bestselling books.

But lately? I’ve been having second thoughts.
