Hahaha! Yes, sure you can have both! Lol!

Thank you for taking the time to read and sharing your thoughts, Judy! I completely agree with you that Medium is a unique platform that provides both opportunities for self-exploration and connections with like-minded individuals. It's always encouraging to know that we're not alone in our struggles and successes as writers.

I appreciate your honesty about wanting to make decent money from your writing and also pursuing your creative passions, such as writing a novel. I think with a little super human abilities- It's definitely possible to have both! Wink! 😉😉

I wish you all the best in your writing journey, and I look forward to reading more of your work in the future. :)
