Holly is already one accomplished writer, but she wants to study in a work environ different to what it means for already well known writers to write the books that sell.
You can be a writer and do quite well, she goes to book fares, she has a following, she is there, of course she is not New York Times best seller - that would mean she needs and has literally nothing to live for more than being at the top .. .there are still things she strives for tho, like having a normal life, not just a faceless writer for people to read.
Her bio speciffically reads:
Her devoted fan base ...
Her Books (many books she has written and published)
are now gaining quite a following.
Even accomplished writers want to finish their education, regardless of their actual skill at making money.
Just as any employee yearning for a diploma even after doing the job they want.
Many accomplished writers do not earn anything other than recognition, no stipend and stuff like you see in the movies or all the made up bs you read about everywhere.
