Yeah, the writing thing was interesting. In Cheryl Strayed's piece, she said she got $100K advance for "Wild" - but they gave it in 4 installments. You take taxes out of the first installment and it's not much, and she said she and her husband were scraping by when that first check arrived. It helped but you're not exactly rich when you get $25,000 minus taxes.
