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.
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. 😀

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.
