Inspired by a different thread . . .
So, say you are offered a 1 million [£ or $] contract for your next book, would you give up the day job to become a full-time writer?
If I were to be successful for the day job I'm applying for right now, I would answer no.
1. It's as much as a dream job, as having my novel published is.
2. I need the contact with the outside world to write well.
3. I need to be exposed to ideas etc, to write my historical novels. It's very rare for me to come up with ideas from the history books alone.
