Once you weigh up the issues, then you can see which option makes more sense. I've come across a couple of people recently who have gone back to a day job, albeit a job where they can work remotely and set their own schedules.

I was fed up with working 12 hours a day and making such little money and I'd had a few client nightmares bringing my spirits down. I'd been turning down invitations from old colleagues and recruiters to go back to my old profession in the IT software industry but actually interviewed with a company for a job in the spring. Half of me wanted the benefits and the good salary again but I had in my head I would still work p/t writing just because I loved it so much. The fact that I didn't get a callback for the job was very very good because shortly after, my writing career improved significantly and I'm really happy that I stuck with it.
