O. Henry wrote TV?
To a certain extent, I suspect that Ellison really enjoyed being a bad-boy "artist". Of course, back when he was most active, authors made their money selling short stories to magazines. Quite a few also wrote screenplays since that was another fairly lucrative field. He did seem to be unable to make the move to novels as they became more popular. A bit like many of the silent movie greats never were able to make the move to talkies.
