YIYF is correct. Only like the top 5% of writers can afford to do it full time.

I have done some writing, however I've always fallen out of the routine. It takes a LOT of discipline to sit down and write. I used to try to get at least 3 pages a day, which isn't much but it is if you're sitting there banging away at keys and trying to come up with ideas. Believe it or not, I had what I considered a perfect match in terms of what I'd like to write, and what I thought I could write for the past couple of months, and actually began to do research on my subject. Then I went in to a book store and saw two new books on the subject. My heart sank.

I've always believed that I have the talent to write but I've NEVER had the discipline.
