He actually already has won — twice. Huh. I just learned that. Although a couple years ago he said he had "lost" them during a move.

HERE IS THE AMAZON PAGE FOR REBELS: CITY OF INDRA. THERE IS A PLOT SUMMARY.

Trent, buddy, you have an Oscar. You don't need the Grammys anymore. They are not your peers. They are the lamest of the terribles. You want proof? Here are a few acts that have never won a competitive Grammy:

The Jenner girls "wrote" a book. Mmhmm.

In this case, "no one" was hyperbole meant to refer to public figures. Celebrity tweets and books and political speeches have all seemed suspect to me for a very long time.

Do you literally mean nobody writes anything? I damn well wrote my own book. I'm writing the next one, too.

Heh, maybe in an ideal world. Song writers are credited in album liners, music videos and wiki pages, yet most people don't know nor care who they are, or that they even exist. One man has basically written every stratospherically successful pop song stuck in our heads from 1995 to the present. I'd never heard of him

The Greatest Thinker of Our Time.

Because of contracts that pay good money and have penalties. To get other gigs, you can say you are a ghostwriter and hint at who it's for. Also, sometimes the writer's name will be on the back or small on the bottom of the cover.

naw, a lot of ghostwriters sign a billion contracts (NDA's included) that basically give up all rights. sometimes people are more open about it, sometimes there's secret info on the info page in the front of a book, but generally, it's pretty hush hush

Man, I hope the Jenner's ghostwriter got paid up front. YA readers won't just pick up any old trash and these two have zero name recognizition. Can't wait to see that one piled up to my hip in the Barnes & Noble bargain section for $4.99.

well, i wanted to get into publishing and i found the internship listing on bookjobs.com. basically what i learned is that NOBODY writes their own shit, from tweets to books and CEOs to politicians to celebrities. the company i was at was a sort of match.com for writers. we had a database of authors and their

I found my 20 year old Cousin's twitter account and his GF. Their tweets are public and make me cringe and groan so much. I refuse to follow him BUT I sure has shit have it bookmarked.

Re: Jaden Smith- I swear to god, if I ever have kids when Twitter or Tumblr exists, I am going to laugh SO HARD at their deep thoughts. God knows I laugh at my own Livejournal from 2005.

To Jaden: you and Shia are not "fellow insane people," just fellow incredibly privileged and deluded people.

My forehead literally starts to hurt every time I see a picture of Jaden Smith making this face. So every time.

How much longer can Jaden Smith's forehead bear up under the strain of all that worrying?

UGH i used to intern at a ghostwriting firm, i wish i still had my connections so i could find out who ghostwrote that POS

Someone needs to teach Jaden that Typing Like This Is Super Fucking Annoying.

Bullshit does nothing because it has a union job.
