And that question you posed is one that faces every new writer who leaps from writing in their spare time to deciding to do it as a profession, but there's still many that persevere and carve out careers.
The idea of making money off text just sounds funny to us because there's been no viable revenue stream for it over the past 20 years it's been around. People used to say the same thing about battle rap too, though. Now those guys get thousands per appearance. The problem with what we do is that the community is so insular.

Good post. This is one of the reasons why I've taken a step back from this wonderful hobby. I need to think about my own present and future financial stability.
