owlectomyHere is what they don't tell you:
It is very possible to be a writer with a full-time day job.
It is much harder to be a writer with a full-time day job, and also an adult -- to do the laundry and the grocery shopping and the cooking and the cleaning. At which point you have several choices:
-Get married. Outsource wage earning to spouse.
-Get married. Outsource adulthood to spouse.
-Work a job that pays actual money. Outsource adulthood to grocery delivery services, laundry services, restaurants, etc.
-Eat Spaghetti-Os!
I have to get a lot more frugal if I want to move to a different apartment next year. It just takes time.
