Which, of course, isn't the point of writing - but it would be nice if, along with the creative satisfaction of writing and seeing my work in print, I could do more than merely scrape a living. Okay, moaning over.

Writing is not the easiest way to make a living. Your work long hours, usually all by yourself. It is not a way to make money.
If your purpose is to make money, you shouldn't get into writing.
For almost anyone who chooses to be a writer, since so very few writers are able to learn a living from their work that is equivalent to the living earned by the average dentist or accountant.
Honestly, I find writing to be a very lonely job.
Writing wasn't about making money. I wanted to find fulfillment in writing and telling stories, and that's what's driven me.
I always treated writing as a profession, never as a hobby. If you don't believe in yourself, no one else will.
I didn't think being a writer was a fancy thing. It was a job like any other job, except apparently you could do it at home.
I like writing, but I write for self-improvement more than I do for money.
I never expected to earn money out of writing. In fact, the idea of getting published was too bourgeois. Then, in England, I realised that writing a book was something you could do without it being laughable.
If I can make a living as a writer, I can do anything.
