Because most writers have totally unrealistic concepts of how publishing works.
From Jim Harrison
Your kids inevitably want to move where they had their vacations when they were younger.
Success and money can really be quite blinding.
The only advice I can give to aspiring writers is don't do it unless you're willing to give your whole life to it. Red wine and garlic also helps.

The trajectory started when I was on the roof of our house looking out at a swamp when I was 19. I had written for several years, starting at about 15, but that day on the roof I took my vows and acknowledged my calling.
I should add that I very much enjoy certain cities especially Paris, New York and Chicago.
