This topic is a kind of attraction. I think there are still a lot reasons which were not stated here. Agree

You'll make more money per hour flipping burgers than writing a book. This is a good point of view, I agree!

This article is quite interesting, although there maybe some debates there, it still give us some information about "change". We have to change our mindset as world is moving.

Writing a book has more to do with wanting to think through a particular idea in a vigorous way. If you have lots of ideas about lots of different topics, a blog is great. If you want to dig deeply into a thought, a story, a truth, then a book may be a good vehicle for this.

Who ever wrote this, You sound like my neurosurgeon, when he told me Id never walk again from a spinalcord injury. (very neagitive) Well Your false comments about writing a book is wrong for the most part, and part 5 is the worst one yet. People can most definatly find there way to go from a book, by gaining insight on how other got there, providing them with the knowledge to overcome some barriers in life they have not seen before. For Example i am a T11 complete injury, i a stamp in a book that i would never walk again. Well I AM. Through Stem Cell treatment, and thearpy i am. Im sure people would love to read this journey, and if you want to know more about it feel free to email me at amartayan@hotmail.com . Even though writing a book might not help you so much finacially, but someone might want to write, just to help others.

Truthfully you have to stop being neagitive, and encourage people to write more. Believe me you can acoplish anything in life, and just because you did not publish a top seller, does not mean we cant. Its people like you and that mind set, that it cant be done or there is no reason it should be done, then look at books like Harry Potter and wonder "Wow" I wish I did that.
Well injoy your Blogs. and have a great day becuase anyway your ideas are Golden……………

While some of you're facts are solid, I believe authors like Anne Rice and Stephanie Meyer would disagree. Even author's who don't sell that many books, still sell. The revenue stream is constant with books, especailly novels.

Also keep in mind, that Hollywood directors buy rights to certain novels. Especially with the dry spell now hitting movie studios many novels are being bought.

Blogging is nice, but its a soapbox, millions have blogs, If you want to sell a book, you might blog, or you might get a Literacy Agent which would be the better idea. New talent is always being looked for. Y

Lastly, many of the great authors of today didn't expect much, they just wanted something for themselves, they weren't looking for online soap boxes.

You quite rightly point out that writing a book is a very difficult way of making money, however there are many people who can't help but write! Think of something you love, something you are really passionate about. What if someone asked you for your thoughts, or some advice? Many people feel the need to right, to help others and to leave a legacy to the world. If you have something you need to share, I encourage you to write a book. Not for the money, for the joy of writing! Or as Penelope points out, start a blog, it's far easier and more accessible. Or write on our forum, and share your Philosophy of Happiness...
