Not at all.
Working odd jobs to make the rent at your shitty apartment while writing your magnum opus, then dying before it is finished, leaving it to be obsessed over by fanatics and cultists who frantically interpret and reinterpret your work until the end of time.
And it never becomes mainstream.
That is the /lit/ occupation.

This. The best philosophers and writers were neets or at least 100% devoted to their intellectual pursuits. It makes sense considering that if you are busy working for someone else, you won't be able to spend enough time on your books which will affect their quality

you're thinking that the book has to have literary merit
when was the last time the writer of anything of literary merit had a successful life? actually none of them. off the top of my head twain and shakespeare were the only ones who didnt have the self-destructive habit of getting regularly shitfaced drunk.
