If you look at fiction writing historically, or any art form, people have almost NEVER made much money at it. Only for that brief, strange period of the last, say 80 years, have people made money for the mass production of art.

If you want to see the future of writing, try to make money with a TV series on YouTube...

For myself, the fact that hundreds are reading my books each month is enough for now. I'm very happy with that! I consider this a FANTASTIC time for authors, we can write and people can read and most of us can focus on that and forget about the money aspect.
