is there a point in writing a book?

It's obvious if you are reading this that I love to write. I've been told by people that I should go a little further than writing here on Vocal.media.I think it is a very good idea but how does someone go about it? How do you write something big enough to write a book?

Is writing a book and becoming a published author even worth it? Obviously, I write something enough to post here but how does one even write a book?

Even if I do end up writing something how does one even get published to get books up on shelves? I feel like it's harder than it seems but all at the same time it really isn't that hard because a lot of people enjoy writing and a lot of people get their books in stores.

It seems like it's a lot easier for people to get their books published and out there when they have some sort of nice following on social media and YouTube.

So, the debate is do I just write a book and continue working my way up with gaining a following on social media and YouTube? or Do I wait till I have more of a following?

But what if by then it is way too late to do anything and I never actually write a book? Like never actually write a book(s), and only post here and on YouTube?

It would be a dream to be a (the) New York Times best sellers list- on top of being an artist full-time. But being 31 (years of age) that almost feels impossible- too good to be true.

Then again some of the world's best authors and artists had their first book published and sold their first paintings in their 40s. Putting it this way does make me feel a little bit better for not making it in my 20s like I wanted to.

I guess we will see if I can make it in my 30s on whatever the hell this path is I still can't seem to find. That is another thing. How do people even find their paths and just wake up and enjoy their life? How long did they even take?

Because sometimes it feels like some people have been on their life path that they were meant to be on since birth and as adults, they are just thriving. Or is it that they didn't grow up to be traumatized their entire life so finding their path became much easier for them? If that is the case then screw those people.

I think I've won my own debate on if I should write a book and become a published author. Now it's just figuring out what it is I would like to write about. I am huge into poetry, fiction and love writing about my nightmares.

Where to start on this journey? Actually, the bigger question is how do I stop myself from posting everything here? Personally, the hardest part is writing things just for my account here and writing things for my potential book. This is all just a fantasy. I mean everything is a fantasy until I put the gears in motion and actually do these things.

This is more of a new adventure. Writing a book is the greatest adventure anyone can go on. I am in a phase in my life where all I want to do is go on adventures and explore new things. Writing a book will just be one of those new things to explore.

Anyone want to come for the ride?
