I have both a practical and an emotional answer to this question.
The practical focuses on the ability to set my own schedule. I have three little kids, one of whom has special needs. We have a slew of appointments each week. Fitting those in around a traditional nine-to-five job would be very difficult. As a writer, I can work seven days a week if I need to, even if those working hours occur in the middle of the night.
The emotional answer concerns the pleasure I derive from writing, revising, and polishing a story. Writing is far more than a career for me.
