What I should do next is here. :)
20 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD WRITE A BOOK WHILE IN YOUR 20s.
1. You can. If you write 500 good words per day, you will have 50,000 words in 100 days. Thatâs just over three-monthâs time â Jack Kerouac wrote âOn The Roadâ in three weeks.
2. It will make other goals seem more doable. If you can write a book, then certainly, itâs possible to accomplish other goals if you break them down into small steps.
3. It makes you look like an expert. (Assuming itâs not a memoir or novel.) Once youâve written a book, people assume you know a ton, which allows for a damn delightful consequence.
4. It makes you more valuable. As soon as you have a book in your name, someone is more likely to hire you, pay you more and maybe even love you more. Youâre an author! That sh*tty degree might not get you a job, but I bet a book would do the trick.
5. It actually makes you an expert. In order to write a book, you have to know a lot about something.
6. Youâll learn a ton. Youâll have to study and organize information, which means youâll need to understand it. Thereâs probably no better way to learn about a topic than to write a book about it.
7. It will be easier to get attention. Thereâs no easier way to get on the podcast circuit than to write a book. Itâs weird to say, but there arenât many skills more valuable than getting attention in the attention economy.
8. Youâll help someone. Strangers better our lives by sharing their knowledge through books. You have something worthsaying, too.
9. Itâs a great project to have. Writing a book is a project that makes your whole day more interesting. Everything becomes possible fodder for the pages.
10. You can put âauthorâ next to your name. Itâs worth something. If only becauseâŚ
11. It breaks down your beliefs about âauthors.â Youâre not an outsider anymore; youâre a member of the club. You understand what an author is â a person who writes down words. You know that sometimes, there is a difference between the words and the person.
12. It makes you a better reader. You also gain respect for other writers. You know how weird it feels to write things down for other people to read â especially that sh*tty first draft. You appreciate great pieces of writing more than before.
13. You will become an effective communicator. Itâs more important than ever to be able to express yourself in text. To write a book, you need to be able to build an argument or story in such a way that others can understand you.
14. You will clarify your thoughts. Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon, makes his executives write down proposals to make sure they understand what they want to say.
15. Youâll never regret not writing a book. Do it now so you wonât have regrets when youâre in you 30s and have triplets screaming around the house.
16. Your mom will be proud. Other family members will, too. It doesnât matter if you only sell 10 copies.
17. Youâll get better at typing. You have no reason to suck at typing when so much of life happens on screens.
18. Youâll create a habit of writing. This has been one of the greatest improvements of my life. Writing forces you to think discretely â it can act as a kind of therapy. Half of this list really just reflects the benefits of writing regularly.
19. It will make your days better. If you just write your 500 words for the day, you can feel good that you accomplished something. You made progress toward reaching a goal.
20. When youâre feeling like complete sh*t, you can always say, âI wrote a book.â Itâs proof that you produced something at some point â that you didnât waste your entire life. You worked hard on something, finished it and, by golly, thatâs worth something.
BONUS: You might make some money. (But almost definitely, you wonât.)
If you have even an inkling of an interest in writing your own book, check out my massive guide for writing. There are few commitments that can offer such a great payoff. Do it!
