Hello Monday, how did you sneak in here?
Yes, money check-in time. Please have a dedicated savings account for your business/writing. Best case scenario you have an auto transfer of $100+ to that account every Monday.
If you have nothing, start now.

You can look at your weekly savings of $50-$100 as some payment against your writing time each week. If you are writing 2k words a week and saving $100 per week, your writing pay translation is $50 an hour. $50 per week is $25. $20 is $10 a writing hour.

Once you establish unvarnished truth about your writing, you will be able to make better decisions based on your life goals. You cannot do it all. You have finite time. That time becomes increasingly expensive as you age. This is fact. Choose wisely.

What about saving $50 a week, or $250 a month? If an ad in a good genre magazine costs you $1,400 - that one ad is 6 months of your total savings. If you self publish, there are costs so it may take you a year to afford that one ad. It's not enough savings.

So, the first rule of creating a viable writing career is investing money EVERY WEEK into a dedicated savings account JUST for your writing career. If you only save $20 a week thats around $100 a month and won't be enough for advertising or much else.

If all you do is write your novel, it won't magically sell just because you use a *free* self-publishing option on amazon. How do you plan to recoup your $3 grand in time/money? It's pretty basic. If you don't market, plan on not recouping your time/money.
