I am always so thrilled to see my author buddies being able to announce they’re now full time authors and have replaced their incomes with author incomes. I made a decent amount this year (16k - about half KDP and the rest my own sales and bookstores). I am THRILLED with that BUT being a single income family and earning above the average annual salary in Australia for the day job means I’ve got to sell a lot more books to do this full time! And I’m not sure that will ever happen.
