I always wonder why people dont ask hobbyist rock climbers if they are going to go on the pro tour, or ask those who sing in a choir when their next platinum disc will come out.
Mhh, I think the answer to your question is in your question: because climbing and being in a choir are interpreted as hobbies.
When someone says they are a writer, and not “writing is one of my hobbies,” it suggests that’s what they spend most of their time on, so the question how successful they are at surviving naturally arises, no?
So I think this:
It's strange that everyone expects writers to both have commercial goals and be hitting them.
is less about success as in “are you getting rich??” but “how are you not getting poor??”
I hope this makes sense.
