Can I make $100,000 or more a year as an author? Surely, I’m not the only writer with a manuscript wondering about the six-figure author life.

I was going through it a year ago. Our recently adopted German Shepherd and Beagle mix which we happily brought home, soon proved to be more high strung than expected. She was putting me through it.

I approach this next year, marking the midpoint of another decade I do it with optimism and hope. I do it with greater wisdom and clearer reasons.
