Full or Part Time Writer?

Are you a full or part-time writer? I am a part-time writer with aspirations to be a full-time writer. I've had that aspiration for so long without achieving it that it's time to admit that I will never be a full-time writer. Just look at how negligent I've been in doing blog posts here. Or, I'm embarrassed to say just how long it's been since I've published a novel. 

It may be time to rethink my approach to writing. I have at least 6 novels I hopscotch around working on. I dig in when I have time and neglect them when I don't have time to do a deep dive. I have four published novels that are doing reasonably well and four Kindle Vella novels that still need to be completed. Have you ever seen the entertainer who spins plates on the tops of long wooden poles? They keep adding more and more plates to the poles until the stage is full. That's wonderful if you can keep them all spinning. My plates aren't crashing, but they do each consume valuable time. It may be time to focus on only one novel at a time until that gets done.
