Reasons to Write a Book

Hundreds of books get published everyday. Maybe thousands.

And most of them don’t sell more than ten copies. Some not even that many.

Yet, no one who has ever written a book regrets that they wrote one. So what are the reasons to write a book?

I came up with a few. Here is the list:

It is a great way of self expression, especially for introverts

You have a story or a few stories to tell others

It clarifies your thoughts when you put them out in words

You leave something for the world after you are gone

Maybe your next generation could use the legacy

No one can tell you what to put into words, it’s fully your body of work

It is a good way to pass time and keep brains sharp when older

Even if it is just a hobby, it doesn’t take much money unlike some others

Publishing a book is fairly easy if you decide to do it yourself

You will become less afraid of failure when you give the world your book

It might become a bestseller and you will become rich and famous

You have an intellectual asset that can increase in value over time

And finally, a 3-in-1 reason: You like writing, you can and you want to write a book. So why not?
