I'm a writer and I've had some success.
I'm not ever getting a Pulitzer prize and my books aren't on high school reading lists, but for better or worse I'm a working writer.
The publishing industry is not immune to gossips.
People like to gossip about people who are successful.
Having to walk and talk and hit a mark and open a door proved nearly impossible for me. I suppose that's why we're on a reality show and not 'Mad Men.' Because we don't act.
