Rarely will you ever "live well" working a job.

Trick to living well without a job is to treat your work like farming.

With farming you prep your dirt, plant, tend, after sometimes a long while, your harvest is ready.

How this translates generally, "provide massive value, in your niche, every day + eventually your harvest will be ready."

Simple way to do this might relate to your writing.

1) Attend Meetup groups related to writing.

2) Speak to Meetup groups about writing.

3) Develop a course about how you monetize your writing.

If you make $1000/month writing, develop a course about...

"How to make $1000/month writing."

People how make $0/month from writing, will be interested in your course.
