A lot of publishers ask authors to do it and few authors actually question this. Book signing is the same way. It's not because authors think their handwriting is a blessing, it is a chance for readers to meet the author.

I don't know how I had such a positive attitude for so many years but this year I've hit such low notes of sadness and hollowness that hasn't happened since I was a teenager. The good thing is I don't think it's hurting my writing, its actually making me cut out all my unproductive hobbies and write more.
