When NOT to Write a Book

Jul 16, 2012 by Lona

Ahah, got your attention, eh? Yes, I am actually going to tell you when it is a severe waste of time and money to write a book. It’s actually very simple, so this will be a short post.

You should not write a book when you have nothing to say.

That’s it. You’d think it’d be common sense, but alas, it is not. Far too many people come to me with the thought that they “should” write a book, and need to write a book, when in fact, they have very little to share. This is not to say they have uninteresting lives, or aren’t knowledgeable, or in some cases actually quite brilliant in their respective fields, but without something new, different and interesting to say, you do not have a book.
