Would no one get to read it anymore?
You may be wondering, “What is the best way to write a book?” The answer is simple: by doing. How do those two add up, you may ask? Inspiration. Doing is the inspiration– there is a setting, there is a plot, and there is an adventure. ‘Doing’ is the most impactful way to write a convincing story. Even if we know it's fiction, we always live in that make-believe world, pretending it's our own. So, do ‘it’, whatever ‘it’ is, and convince us that we are living ‘it’ too.

Do you know the famous saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover?” Of course you do. And while we tell ourselves we would never judge a book by its cover, deep down, we do. This is why creating the book cover is an extremely important part of the book publishing process.
We write because there is nothing else that touches our souls or our hearts, the way the written word does. Words of every language are printed on paper and are grasped by millions around the world. We write what we feel, and we authors can only hope it connects with others and helps them think, cry, and mend. No matter how much or how little we write–one word, one sentence– we are writers.

Epicurus is perhaps one of the most misunderstood philosophers and writers. He was a man of simple pleasure mistaken for a hedonist, and his writing resume is usually reduced to one work, The Art of Happiness. This is partly because the vast majority of his work did not survive, but “Estimates claim that Epicurus wrote over 300 works during his lifetime.”[1] Nonetheless, this all has led to Epicurus being an underestimated writer. But, Epicurus, in the fragments we have from him, presents quite useful pieces of writing advice.
