Your section on writing books is "don't, because there would be few readers and you wouldn't make money", but in the very next section you say "it's often worth writing stuff down even if it'll garner no readers". Writing novels is the quintessential example of this! It's probably the most pleasurable thing I've ever done, and indeed most of my novels I just like, send to my wife and my mom and that's it. Even that - a story goes from residence in one mind to three - strikes me as a kind of miracle. Would I take 100 readers if they fell out the sky? Of course! But hard to even imagine such riches.
