There are many things that civilized people want to
accomplish while on this beautiful place we call Earth. Some want to cure a disease. Others want to
break a record. Many want to raise honorable children who will continue to
provide strength and stability to their communities in years to come. Still others want to become authors. Here are
a few reasons why spending time to write a book might be a good idea.
1.
Leave your mark on society. Authors receive the
gift of immortality. Although our mortal frames give up after a hundred years
or so of wear and tear, the names, experiences and written works of authors
continues on. Authorship
can be a selfish endeavor.
2.
Share. It’s one thing to know a delicious recipe
or understand how to communicate effectively; it’s another thing to distribute
that information to the masses. Authorship can be a selfless endeavor.
3.
Shock. Whether it is a gruesome non-fiction, or
a frightening fictional tale, some books have the ability to surprise and
astonish readers – even though they know that doing so was your intention from
the beginning. Authorship can be an eye-opening endeavor.
4.
Entertain. Maybe you don’t know anything of
vital importance to the rest of the world. Maybe the only thing of value is
your sense of humor, or your ability to tell a story that really captures the
attention of your readers. Making people happy is a circular activity and is
impossible to achieve without before, during, and after making the maker of
happiness happy as well. Authorship
can be an enjoyable endeavor.
There are other valuable and worthwhile activities we can
accomplish in the relatively short period we’re alive, but becoming an author,
whether our intent is selfish or selfless, eye-opening or enjoyable, is
something we can and should all achieve.
