The problem like many of the arts is that it's almost impossible to make a living at writing fiction so the alternative is to have someone/something support you while you establish yourself or to wait until you have the time and self-support to do it.
Others go to school, take jobs in journalism etc (as Hemingway and other did ) before moving/being able to have the time to write fiction.
WMMV....
