Publishing a novel is very competitive, and most people who publish sell less than 10,000 copies. You would have to work part-time on your novel for years and receive very little money in return.
Online there’s a lot of fiction available as well—you can donate your time to writing but again I think it’s unlikely that more than 10,000 people would read your novel or short story, and I think most of those people wouldn’t be influenced very much, unless you’re a REALLY good writer.
I’d encourage people to enjoy fiction writing as a hobby and I’d encourage people who are unusually talented to develop their skills, but this is just SUCH a competitive field!
