If I ever get a book published traditionally (my optimistic friends say "when", not "if"), it will change my life in many ways.
The money won't be a big change -- according to Derek Murphy, the average amount an author earns is the advance, which is $10k, or $8k after the agent gets their cut.
I will have to hire an entertainment lawyer to look over the contract and see if there are any potential hitches.
I will have to sign a contract, after which my rights to my book will be curtailed for a period of time.
I will have to consider promoting my book, which will include travel. I would likely do this in the summer, which means I will have to schedule around internship visits.
I will have to step up my social media game. I haven't done that yet because I have nothing really to promote except this blog.
I've probably forgotten something.
Sometimes it seems more work than it's worth, but it's worth it to me. So I keep trying, keep improving, keep pushing myself.
