If you already know how to build simple things, why not write some books and get publicity if you have the chance? It would only increase demand for things that you are hoping to build in the future. I can build things like crazy and I'm still hoping to write a book...someday...

Before you write your own book, I would recommend taking an assessment of the number of books that are already out there and really making sure that you have something to say that isn't already being written about. 99% of books are trash. Don't write one unless you know it will help someone better than all those already existing books would.
Do you live in a fairy world? The point of writing and publishing books is TO MAKE MONEY. Nobody cares about your opinions.
Well, feel free to waste your life and time writing a book for money. I will be the first person in line to never buy such a book.
