Alexander,
Many times. Since I'm a math teacher currently, I decided to see what the literary life would be like. I took a summer and did nothing but write. Surprisingly, I wasn't as productive as I thought I would be. Evidently, the full-time writing life is too solitary for me, at least at present. However, I'm getting older and in a few years I may be ready. My goal is still to produce roughly a book a year. I would like to be like James Michener. He wrote until he was 90. That means I'd have at least 40 books to my credit by the time I finished.
