My definition of narcissism is quite standard. Narcissism is a word that gets misused quite often. I don't see anything narcissistic about thinking that you can write a book that people might want to read. At least not in the most common definition of narcissism. If you apply that definition, then everyone but the most shy wallflower would be a narcissist. Narcissism is generally considered to be more than just a sense of self worth, it's generally means an excessive evaluation of your own qualities. A grandmother who thinks that her cookies are good enough to enter in the county fair probably isn't a narcissist. But if that grandmother flips out because she didn't win, and starts blaming everyone else, then she might be.
