Do you think a person can make a living off of a simple covered call or selling puts strategy?

While I'm sure it is possible, my main concern is that NEEDING to make money on options would alter my judgement.
It seems a lot easier to let the market come to you, which requires the time and financial cushion to wait when that seems appropriate. I always figure that how I react to various investments is at least as important as company or market factors. That's one of the main reasons I can't paper trade-it doesn't tell me or teach me anything about how I'll do when it's for real. Some people don't seem to have this problem. It's the old "know thyself" stuff.
