Those self-help books certainly seem to be all over the place. I often wonder who is buying them.

If you build it, will they come?

If a writer feels they wasted effort after publishing a piece, then their itch was not scratched in the act of writing it.

Maybe their itch is the need to be recognized, or spread their ideas, or maybe they wanted to make income from their efforts.

If the writer's itch is based in ego or bank account, few besides the writer will find the scratch useful to their own itch. 

Maybe the writer should pivot from fiction to self-help or get rich quick books.
