Could you write your book sitting here?
You could become a profitable writer
Since you write emails, you could write a book.
Since you're always writing emails, you're already a writer, but could you make money as a writer? It's human nature to think you're not a talented writer, at least not good enough to make any money writing.
I know the feeling. I never earned a grade above a C in any English class in college. I was an engineer, and everybody knows engineers can't write.
The first book I ever wrote ten years ago still brings in money daily.
Don't worry about your grammar
English grammar has always given me problems, but I've found that it gives the experts problems too. I used to use Grammarly to correct my grammar, but I've recently switched to ProWritingAid. I briefly had both programs on my computer, and they couldn't agree. One of them would tell me to add a comma, and when I would add it, the other program would tell me to remove it.
Don't let the fact that you're not a grammar expert keep you from writing. Besides computer programs, you can hire expert proofreaders to fix your mistakes. That's what I do. I have a guy in Bulgaria who works his magic with my manuscripts. He's originally from Texas, but he's been living in Bulgaria, working as a digital nomad doing proofreading for years. He used to live in Croatia.
You could write your book from anywhere.
If you like to travel, whether you're living and traveling in your RV or you're a digital nomad, expat, or whatever they call international travelers, you're in the perfect situation to be a writer. You have the time to write with few interruptions, and travel stimulates your creativity.
I've written 31 books and am almost finished with book #32.
Write a book and get paid forever
My first book, which I wrote over ten years ago, has earned me over $100,000, and my second book has earned me over $70,000. The good news is that both books, along with all my other books, are still earning me money every day. Of course, not all of my books are super successful, but they are all profitable.
Amazon doesn't charge anything to publish a book, so it doesn't take many sales to be profitable. I use a lady in Ukraine to design my book covers. She charges $10 to design a book cover, but I usually spend more and have her design several covers and then choose the one I like. I hire a proofreader, but you can have several friends read your manuscript and save this expense. You can easily make changes to your book after it's printed if you find a mistake later.

Bottom line: Regardless of what you did in your previous life, you can be a writer. Two great things about being a writer are that you can travel or live anywhere, and when you write a book, it keeps bringing in money every day, year after year.
