Yep. Frankly, not a whole lot has changed from that standpoint in the books business. The vast majority of writers have a tough time making a living and it's been that way since the book industry was big enough to make money at it. A lot of very well known authors wrote for magazines and newspapers in the late 1800's - early 1900's. The pulp writers from the 30's - 60's were churning out stories at an amazing rate. None of this a couple of books a year for them!
