Not if you value time.



If you enjoy writing a book why would you value your time?


"Enjoy" is a complex emotion in the context of writing an entire publishable book. Even if someone finds all the actual research and writing enjoyable, they probably don't love all the editing and copyediting and other mechanics all that fun.


Most people love having done something more than doing it. I like talking about removing that busted off bolt in my shop - but when I'm doing it, it just plain sucks.


totally agree...if you care about the subject it's worthwhile whether it makes money or not
