In my writing business, it was always coaching and editing that supported me and not book sales. Now that I am selling The Memoir Network, I have shifted to sourcing my income from retirement funds. (Don't ignore funding your retirement!) But, I continue to write my "own material." The temptation is always for me to just want to write, but I am also like you aware of supporting my writing as I send it out into the world. Thanks for the heads up!
Segue into coaching and editing. I always found it the most lucrative for the time invested. (Of course, I had invested year in becoming a knowledgeable person about writing, but you can't count those.)

I'm actually retired from my office job so now I'm building something to supplement my retirement.

Thanks for the advice.
