Okay here's my perspective - I write on three platforms and some would say achieved success relatively early - I even thought of going into writing full time at one point (thank goodness I did not) because tbh writing on a platform is completely diff from writing for a living - and the earnings are never stable or consistent

I don't publish like crazy - I stick to 3 ish posts a week for the past 2 years - to me that is consistent - and no even now, I don't have high expectations about anything - that keeps me grounded and happy with what I do
