Writing a novel is a creative activity that aims to express the author's thoughts and feelings through words. Although the novel itself might not be directly converted into currency, it could be published, adapted into a movie or TV series, and distributed as an e-book to obtain economic benefits. If the novel was adapted into a movie or TV series, the author might receive adaptation royalties or other economic benefits. If the novel is published, the author can receive royalties or other financial benefits, which may be used to buy more books or other publishing materials. Of course, not everyone who wrote novels could obtain these economic benefits. This required the author to have outstanding works, a wide readership, and a good marketing strategy. But generally speaking, writing novels was an activity that could bring economic benefits, as long as the author could create excellent works.
