> How to write a novel that is actually a worthwhile read? There's no silver bullet for that, but one promising approach is to honestly try to write something you'd really like to read yourself. > Why should you invest your time into an endeavour that will most likely fail and have no significant outcome? The answer to this fully depends on your personal definition of a significant outcome. Some people consider working on open-source projects a waste of time. Other people think the same about working for a corporation. For some, the only outcome worth working for is noticeably and unambiguously making the world a better place. Others (the happy ones) just do things "for the hell of it".
