Actually, you're right. One of my favorite webcomic writers has been toiling away in advertising for many years, and now he's finally abandoning all his writing side projects to focus on his novel. It would have been pretty irresponsible of him to do that without a financial cushion from doing advertising, since he has a family. And he need to practice on his free side projects first before producing a novel anyway.
