you, writing a book? god save us.

mind you, i've nothing against it. i mean, if one wants to write something - a book - and finds a way to publish it, then go for it, feed the dream and the market will take care of it: if it's good and there is in fact a hidden talent behind the words, then sooner or later (sometimes too late, okay) it will be acknowleddged; if it's sheer and stinky crap, then the market will send it back to the toilet where it came from.

okay, i know this thought fails due to wishful thinking. it only works like that in theory. because in the real world, everyone writes and publishes books nowadays. as i said above, i've nothing against it - i'm quite liberal, economically speaking*. but what we see today is people who have nothing to say publishing... a bunch of pages saying nothing. or people who could actually have something remotely (or really) interesting to say, but fail completely at writing. you definitely fall into the second category, and perhaps even in the first one. save yourself while you can, either by learning something or by dismissing the idea entirely.

and no, i'm no fucking authority when it comes to writing. i'm not even nowhere near it, and the reason why i never tried to finish any of my so-called "literary projects" is the fact that i know i'm not good enough for it. i might be a lazy bum, but i still have standards. anyway, i do know that on that regard, you're way behind me, so take this as a honest advice. if not, well, don't count on me to say that something awfully written is actually good.

*and i mean liberal in the original sense of the word, not liberal as most people around my age, or younger, understand the concept and advertise it as a self-definition on social networking sites. most of the people i know claiming to be "liberal" are proto-comunists at heart and mind. go figure.
