It certainly can be done.
However, it takes more than just hard work, it also takes a modicum of skill and/or talent. Writing a reasonably successful book a month means you need to be able to produce about 3,000 words of publishable prose a day every day, and not everyone can do that.
Making some money is easy.
Making a living is less so. The real problem that I see is that there's no information out there on just how easy or difficult it is to reach any level of success.
I've written four novels plus a novel-length course, and about a quarter-million words of other paying copy per year; that gives me a reasonable yardstick to judge the amount of work involved in producing the books to sell.
The question I'm facing is how hard is it to reach those sales goals? Are sustained sales of four copies per title per day easy for the average author to achieve, or does that represent significantly above average results?
What are reasonable expectations?
