I apologize, I can't put this as a link, but this comes from a book review in NYTimes of various bestselling authors and it just hit me.
Author Michael Lewis: "When I'm working on a book I'm in a very agitated state. My sleep is disrupted. I only dream about the project. My sex drive goes up. My need for exercise, and the catharsis I get from it, is greater. I take a blank pad and pen and write hundreds of notes through the day."

Sound familiar? But no one in the review says, oh btw, this author is bp. I guess he's special, he's an 'author'. Seriously? Meh.
