That may be true, but I wonder how true it is for writers who publish a novel every year or two? Many, if not most, of the authors I read regularly either do/did not have day jobs or had jobs that were directly related to their writing.
Certainly many mid-list authors who still have day jobs aspire to make enough money from their writing so that they don't have them any more.
