Why most non-fiction authors don't make any money
Unfortunately most writers of fiction make next to nothing too. Writers often are not happy writing either (unlike painters and video artists who seem to have a whale of a time).<p>Sadly I toiled for 8 years on a novel (while working a day job). It was a massive effort.<p>It might be hard for people to understand but I felt I had to write it (i.e. writers curse).<p>I wish I had spent all that time on studying programming etc. Unfortunately humans are not fully rational. I actually like my novel. But it wasn&#x27;t worth it.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.co.uk&#x2F;Can-Get-Restart-Jack-Gowan-ebook&#x2F;dp&#x2F;B01BVJ1U5C" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.co.uk&#x2F;Can-Get-Restart-Jack-Gowan-ebook&#x2F;dp...</a><p>But hey that&#x27;s life. Shrug.<p>Writers should just write for the pleasure of writing and expect that the majority won&#x27;t make it. It&#x27;s about as likely as winning the lottery
