Have you ever tried to write a book? Why didn't you finish it? What is stopping you?

Yes. I never finished it, because, although I have a lot to say, I have no talent for story telling, and no education in the art of writing. It's just not as easy as reading is.

Dang. Who knew? Not me.

@Wishingwellguy I started and quit when I was 18. I'm 74 now. I don't have a book in me.

@Serenitree teach yourself. I did.

@prawntobewild I'm no longer interested. Life has intervened. It has taught me that not everyone is meant to write novels. Some are essayists, some are humorists, and there are people who do best with anecdotes.

I don't have the drive or the desire to do all the hard work it takes to become successful.
