Sweet Basilisk I had to think on that question, cause it's important. I can only answer for myself. If writing made me more unhappy than happy, I would have to consider stepping back, at least short term. Also, sadly, there's a financial consideration. I've committed myself to 6 more books in my series, 3 are already written for 2024, 3 are planned for 2025. After that I don't know if I'll keep writing. It was a dream I had to publish, which I did, so maybe that's enough.
