A) Well, sure. But if you're throwing away months of your time on a whim solely because someone else said you should, can you really blame them if it turns out to be wasted? It's not like "I'd buy that" is a down-payment or anything, and that's a whole lot of investment on what is ultimately an expression of passing interest. If that really was OP's sole motivation for spending months or more on something, that's their arrogance and they deserve what they get.

B) Saying you would do something isn't the same as saying you absolutely 100% will. Again, it's an expression of interest, not a down-payment, and a gesture of encouragement that, rightly or wrongly, they thought would be appreciated in the moment they gave it. People don't tend to put that much forward-thought into their supportive gestures.

Enjoying the pile-on? Huh.

Seemed an even debate between anons to me?

A) The discussion here isn't about whether or not it's a dumb idea. I agree that if OP wrote a book solely because their friends told them to, that's not the greatest motive. But the fact is, you don't know what OP's reasoning was, unless you're the OP.

B) Again, that's also not the discussion. Never once did I say that saying you'll do something automatically means you will. What I did say is that IF you tell a friend you're going to do something, you should do it. If you are not inclined to actually do something, then you shouldn't tell a friend that you will. I'm not sure why this is such a controversial concept.
