Interesting that you mentioned Tolkein, since he had a "day job" that he didn't quit.

I envision a future where there are far fewer people who do nothing for a living but write, with most writers being people who write "on the side" because they want to. I'm okay with that future. Most authors I read are like that, and put out at most one book per year, maybe one book every two or three years, but they go for quality, not quantity. (I remember one writer on here talking about putting out 3 to 5 books a year, like that was a good thing.)
