I'm talking about writing goals/expectations for your career when it comes to money. ie: earning enough from your books to support yourself. I've realized there's a framework/disconnect when we talk about trad vs. indie.

Namely: how do you make money?

I'm sharing why "making enough money to live off" ie: write full time is not at the top of the list of my priorities for trad pub, and why I don't fuss over lower royalty rates.
