Writing is a tough profession. Sometimes writers have to deal with rejection. There is also a hidden bureaucracy associated with the publication world. Nevertheless, one of the saddest facts of life is that people could write, but they do not try at all. That is the main reason why, in terms of the act of writing, it is best to at least try.
Some people experience self-doubt, and then never attempt to write anything. It can also be frustrating to write a beautiful piece only to have that submission declined. Despite that harsh reality, people do have the ability to write with their minds, hearts, souls, and hands.
In fact, it takes effort to write a compelling masterpiece. For example, Jane Austen led a reclusive life, yet went on to become one of the most celebrated authors in history. Another fun fact was that The Help, written by Kathryn Stockett, was rejected several times before finally being published. Fortunately, a publisher took a chance on that compelling novel, and then it had the cinematic treatment in 2011. Therefore, it really is worth it to actually try to write, and then share that writing with the world.
Sadly, some writers would only write for money. After all, money does make the world go round, which is even a part of the musical Cabaret. Despite such greed, many noble writers would write in order to educate and inspire readers everywhere. That was the case with Anne Frank, and her diary remains a timeless masterpiece.
Finally, trying and failing is better than never trying at all. Will you try please?
