Look, he's a manic depressive bi-polar who claims he really enjoys his manic stages - which also he claims can last for weeks or months at a time. Have you ever had to deal with someone like this? Do you really believe that he's managed to hold down a job that requires you to be front and center on a daily basis? I have a manic depressive bi-polar uncle and in my experience the answer is no. He sounds completely unmedicated which makes us trying to dissect what he wrote quite funny.

As a bipolar "artist" myself who has (and still does) work in business and who has been "front and center" for extended amounts of time - it can be done, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to do it the way he's doing it. He's cashing in on his mania, and I guess more power to him if that's how he chooses to operate, but I shudder to think of how many disasters and burned bridges litter the landscape behind him, and the road ahead of him looks bleak.
Once the letter got to the part about the cyclothymia, it became a really sad thing to read. It isn't funny to me, I can't feel indignant about his ego, and I can barely spare any thought regarding the publisher - that's just the venue for the meltdown. It's just really, really sad.
