My book deal ruined my life :-( or :-)? (NY Observer)
This has got to be one of the more pathetic (or funny) things I've ever read, along the lines of boy, that promotion screwed with my head or could it be that cancer isn't so bad, try writing a book?
Of course we all know that dying is easy, comedy is hard, so maybe this is no surprise, or maybe it's a joke. It's hard to say. No matter what, it's nice to remember that there are certainly more important things in life than your book deal! As for me, I'd put my relationship, my kids, my job, my own sense of self worth, all that and more, far ahead of any book.
