While I don’t write anymore, I agree with these points wholeheartedly. A job does provide you with the structure of a day-to-day routine, plus an income! Writing is great once you have signed some book deals, but I think sometimes it’ll get monotonous, especially if you’ve got writer’s block.
And I think if you are busy in general, you will make more time to write because you know if you don’t do it in the time you do have, you won’t do it. Whereas if the day stretched out before you you might put it off to do other things, thinking you have all the time you need and then it’s gone. If that makes sense.
