Before you write your own book, I would recommend taking an assessment of the number of books that are already out there and really making sure that you have something to say that isn't already being written about. 99% of books are trash. Don't write one unless you know it will help someone better than all those already existing books would.

Do you live in a fairy world? The point of writing and publishing books is TO MAKE MONEY. Nobody cares about your opinions.
