1. Nobody gives a shit that I self-published my book.
2. My book is not a self-replicating meme that excites people to such a feverish pitch that they tell their friends to go buy a book.
3. Self-publishing is second only to a crack habit as a good way to lose money.
4. "Opening a paypal account" is a significant detterent to prospective customers.
5. A lot of people will say that they will buy your book, but won't.
6. "Frustrated Young Men" is not as catchy a title as I had first anticipated.
7. The New York Times does not make exceptions for books with cigarettes on the cover.
8. Just finding fax numbers to send press releases to major media outlets is a full time job.
9. Marketing will probably cost just as much as producing the book did in the first place.
10. Bitterness at slow book sales sets in after about one week.
