If only. More a hobby. I'd need a patron for it to be a career. Or a publishing contract. Never say never!
It's why I went to the notebooks for a bit. I could write anywhere, with no fear of losing it...and none of the tech issues. Also, I was less self-conscious about editing or errors. It's oddly freeing to just write -- without all that tech getting in the way. Now that's interesting. I can write in notebooks, or anywhere really, (if I have something I want to get down before forgetting it), but I find it slow and cumbersome. I much prefer writing on a computer (and Scrivener is infinitely superior to anything like Word, just because it's so easy to keep track and label everything, and to move stuff around), partly because I edit a lot. Handwriting a sentence and then immediately wanting to change something and then crossing stuff out and having to squeeze stuff in and so on just feels annoying and inefficient. And I STILL have to type it all up. Whereas if I'm typing it, I can change stuff as I please and swap stuff and instantly get a feel for how it works (or not).

Funny how we're all different. :)
