I gave you a couple of reasons the other day.
Generally y reasons are similar to yours.
It certainly is a challenge, and I am still in the lead up stage.
Generally it seems that publishers leave most marketing up to authors these days. So you may as well take one more step organise the publishing for yourself.
There is a satisfaction in trying something for yourself.
It might lead to other opportunities.

1. Burning desire to get published.
2. Challenge indeed.
3. Freedom to be creative about the presentation of my publication. (I like single-hand driven cars)
4. Content because "if nobody wants to, I will do it myself."
5. More to learn than by spoonfeeding.
