SELL OUT! HOW DARE YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY! YOU'RE GOING STRAIGHT TO CAPITALIST HELL :-P
Seriously. Be happy. Cha-ching (I was super happy for you when I saw the $ value on this!) Keep posting your creative writing, but if you find a niche that does well on the way, be happy. Like I said above, you have a talent for teaching - and this is something people want to learn about. A ton of creative energy still goes into it. As long as you enjoy it - that's all that matters. you have built a loyal following, and we (ok at least I - I can only speak for me) like that you have a blog with all kinds of different subject matter.
Two niches we know do well on here are posts about Steemit and posts about crypto. Nothing wrong with making a few extra bucks from that knowledge - the more you make, the more time you have to put back into your other creative work (and the more $ you have to invest in cryptos, and retire early - and do whatever the FCK you want at that point ;-) )
