A Vida de Tiago A.

In any case, here are examples of some typical bad reasons to publish a book:

• I think I oughta be a published book-author.
  
• My friends will be impressed.
  
• I always dreamed of seeing a book of mine on the shelf at the bookstore.
  
• Being published will make my life worthwhile.
  
• I have something that deserves to live for the ages.
  
• I have a contribution to make to literature.
  
• My genius demands that I publish a book.
  
• Publishing a book will change my life for the better.
  
• Publishing a book will put me in the company of people — agents, edtiors, writers, intellectuals — who will appreciate me in a way my friends and neighbors don’t.

Ahahhahahahah! What fun it is to list the ways dreamy people delude themselves. Oh, let me wipe away the laughter-tears … Now, where was I?
