and possess and read whenever they wanted to. I believe that the greatest thing in this life is to do
something you love and be appreciated for that, which is precisely why we should pay money to
obtain and read books that took so much effort to put together. Otherwise, if we download
someone’s hard work for free, the writers will feel disparaged and won’t earn the money that

the author a multiple times, it’s not a guarantee that the book will be published and sold. Finding

post is Impressive or Depressive? You Decide, and she also mentions that she’s been “trying to
decide if 13 unpublished books makes me really perseverant or just really stupid” (Dessen,
