A budding author?

I say go for it!

Good luck! Look at it this way, even if all you do is write and don't sell much, at least you've accomplished what you want to.

try it as you won't know til y ou try and be prepared to take time to try to sell it aferward.

That's exciting, and I hope you do! It would be time consuming. I hope you are writing down your ideas as soon as you have them. Sometimes the mind gets too cluttered with other things. I could never write a book. Just don't have the good ideas!

Start small and start slow. It takes a month to a year for a book to be ready. Best of luck!

That's great. It would be so productive and you could further improve your skills. I would certainly read your book.

It can't hurt to try. You never know what could happen.

If you feel you can do it, do it. Look, you will never know if you don't try. I tell myself that all the time. And I have yet to write a book. I know writing a novel would be a hard task for me. But I can compile a bunch of short stories together to form a book. Maybe that will work. I have not yet built up the courage to write anything and publish it.

if you do self publish spend a little money and try to get a half decent editor. There is so much crap out there and most of the rubbish hasn't being professionally edited and that can make all the difference. I read a first draft of quite a famous authors fist ever book and it was a bit shite, got it edited by a pro and now he's a very lucrative publishing deal as is a quite well known author.
