Writers used to be able to live comfortably off the sale of a short story or two a month. Authors like Terry Pratchett made enough money selling silly fantasy books in the 80's that they quit their day jobs. That doesn't happen any more.
Something that doesn't get talked about is the fact that writer's advances don't get adjusted for cost of living. The good advance I got in 2009 is the same good advance on my current contract. It's just industry standard.

This week on @theflytrapmedia.com, I went in deep on self publishing, which has historically been heavily-stigmatized, but now that people smell money, their tune is changing...
Striking Out the Stigma of Self-Publishing
From the Brontes to 'communist gay wish fulfillment,' writers taking control of their own work is having a(nother) moment. And we like it that way.
