Is there any inherent value in achievement? Also, what's the point of publishing a novel? What's the point of releasing any piece of art? Does other people reading something you've made somehow add value to your life? Is it nothing but vanity?
Take the black pill

Vanitas vanitatum, yes. I write because it makes life less unbearable, as I knowingly partake with others into the shared lie of meaning.

>Is there any inherent value in achievement?
there's no such thing
>Also, what's the point of publishing a novel? What's the point of releasing any piece of art?
there's no such thing as 'points', get rid of illusionary teleologies.
> Does other people reading something you've made somehow add value to your life?
if you want it to.
> Is it nothing but vanity?
as opposed to what.

>Is there any inherent value in achievement?
Value is inherently subjective thus any achievement has only as much value as ascribed to it. People have different values that they place on one thing or another. This is the root of supply and demand.
>Also, what's the point of publishing a novel? What's the point of releasing any piece of art?
You choose the point. If it's for recognition, write something for recognition. If it's just to write the story down and create the world then do that. Your choice.
>Does other people reading something you've made somehow add value to your life? Is it nothing but vanity?
It depends on what you're doing it for. If you're writing a novel hoping to make money, then their reading it does add value to your bank account.
