Amazing.

if you can't produce a bestseller with your first novel, don't do it.
If you weren't talented from a young age, don't do it.
If you're a monoglot, don't do it.
If you have any religious belief, don't do it.
If you've ever read a book written by someone other than yourself, don't do it.
If you've ever read over your first draft, don't do it.
If you didn't grow up among dispossessed European aristocrats, don't do it.
If you've ever shown your work to another person, don't do it.

Non-aristocrats shouldn't be allowed to read and write at all.
