Well, I have written over a dozen books on various topics, including poetry, short stories, and novels. I have published half a dozen books, including ebooks and print books. Some of my books are available for purchase on Amazon. Until I started writing online, my ultimate aim was to become a best seller author. However, these days I mainly do freelance writing.
 
I have written some books such as short stories, novels and some inspirational books too. I haven't published any one of them because I lost them all. I am starting afresh to help my skills again.
 
No, I haven’t written or published any books, but I think @zoldos has written a couple over the years.

What are your books about? Do you mind sharing them? @Nomad

I've been writing since like 3rd grade. My on-going novel is now over 445 pages. I've also written a lot of short stories. 😀
 
I would like to write and publish one. I have an idea what it would be about but if I would to do that in my native language, the audiance is very small and publishers will take so much money from me I will get shit from them. I need to aim for US market and most likely E-book. Just put some okay price like 5 bucks and considering the market is high, if 100 people buy it out of 350 million per month, that's 500 bucks. I think that's pretty fine. Maybe not for US costs of living but it's minimum salary in my country. And this is if we are talking of the worst case scenario.

Coolness. I write for fun. But my g/f says I should try to sell my works. I do accept donations and have received around $100 in total over the years. 😀

I've thought about writing a book, not sure if I will ever get around to it as it be a pretty big pain.

I haven't written any books yet but writing has always been a passion of mine, and seeing my work in print is would be so incredibly. I might look into it soon.

If you add up all the words in the guest blogging in an industry I'm an expert in, it would probably be equal to a couple books.

However, I never really got around to self-publishing a book on the topic because I would have been looking to make money. And, I just don't think it would sell without extreme promotion or a lot of call-to-action on an extremely long sales landing page.

Once things settle down, I might pick a few topics I can write about and then create an outline, slowly filling in the blanks. But, I think it would be a month's long process to get a draft down.

I write off the top of my head. I don't really plan stuff except major story/plot archs.
 
No I haven't written any books, but I have wrote some articles related to poker.

I want to say a big congratulations to you on your outstanding writing career. That's so impressive. What inspired you to transition from creative writing to freelance writing?
 
That's so amazing, I've always dreamed of publishing a novel but I have the fear of not being able to do it.

Same is applicable to me and I found it very difficult to also start due to fear that my work might be full of errors and rejected. But I’ve got platforms like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing for self publishing.
 
I have never published a book ever in my life. It is not what I wanted to go deep into by writing stories or ebooks, I am writing on forums because it takes my mind out of things that will trouble my heart.

Doing it and giving it a chance takes courage but most of the time, it might be the only way to make the dream happen. I'll give it a try as you mentioned.

Good deal. 🙂 What do you want to write about? I stick to futuristic/cyberpunk/adult stuff.
 
I have written a book about how I struggled with addiction to porn and masturbation for years. And how I overcame it. I host it on a local online bookstore. I have made very good number of sales from it. It is one book that I poured out my experience to help people.
 
I wrote a sci-fi story for the first time but I couldn't publish it because it's too short. I do have fun expressing my thoughts in writing though.

I have not ever published a book too but I have written dozens of articles and short stories. I still have some of them in my docs. One day I am going to organize them in an ebook.
