I think a lot depends on 'momentum' or starting from creating no money at the start, and slowly creating a reputation, a fan base, and many other 'boring' things related with being a creator and making a living that could replace that day job.

Working on a 'traditional' job gives us X USD for 160 hours a month of alienated work while creating things takes out money from our pockets for the first, we say, 18 months.

I don't try to oversimplify it, more like understanding what's happening with me.

Let's just say it took longer than that before I had anything I was willing to even consider trying to sell. I first started writing fiction in 1996. I didn't finish my first novel until 2009.
