Writing a book no one wants to read

I have written a few books.  No one wants to read them or pay for them.

I suppose if they had been published, it would help.

I got disgusted to the point I don’t even know where two manuscripts are, somewhere in Mexico I suspect, and the third I have on a hard drive somewhere.

I’m not the only one who wrote a book no one is interested in.  There are plenty of us.  We turned to blogging out of frustration.

I was thinking about starting a club, the Book Writers Who No One is Interested in and offer courses in non creative writing to insure our non success.

That should get some attention.

I have read a few manuscripts or portions thereof in the past year by people who I have come to know on the web and to my way of thinking some of it is better than the books on the best sellers lists.

Is there a market saturation in authors?

WordPress has about ten million blogs and half of us are wannabe authors.  I don’t think there are enough readers in the world to keep all of us busy and there are not enough publishers to handle it.

Maybe my stuff is dull.

I think I’ll go back to my  job as a fresh air inspector.  :)
