Imagine you made a mug and nobody used it. That’s a bummer. Imagine you wrote a novel but can’t find anyone to read it. That’s a bummer too.

Art is there to create experiences for people. If somebody writes a novel in the woods, but nobody is there to read it, does it really make sound?

The advise is don't write a novel if you're motivated by the possibility of monetizing it, because nobody will probably read it. That's all.
Imagine you made a mug and wrote a novel! Not a bummer at all.
