Acerca de este título
What happens when you land your dream job and everything you've been working toward becomes a complete nightmare? This is Patty Lin's story. She climbed the ladder as an award-winning television writer (often the only Asian person in the room) only to be confronted by discouragement, burnout, and toxicity.
“Why would you quit such a cool career?”
One minute Patty Lin was begging her way into the audience of Late Night with David Letterman. Just a few years later, through relentless hard work and sacrifice, she earned a seat in the writers’ rooms of the hottest TV shows of all time, where she was one of the few women–and the only Asian person. While writing for Friends, Freaks and Geeks, Desperate Housewives, and Breaking Bad, Lin steeled herself against the indignities of the cutthroat TV industry and its chaotic, sexist, crushing work culture. Realizing that the only script in life you can write is your own, she fearlessly walked away.
This funny, fresh, eye-opening, and inside-Hollywood story will resonate with anyone trying to find their way in the world—and will inspire countless dreamers to listen to their inner voices and know when it’s time to get out.

“A hilarious and brutally honest memoir about life as a writer in Hollywood which could only be told by someone who escaped.” —Judd Apatow, producer of Girls and Bridesmaids and director of 40-Year-Old Virgin
“I love Patty Lin. I think she’s one of the most talented writers I’ve ever met. And she’s also a great person. True, she does have a few food issues that made ordering lunch each day a bit of an ordeal, but she’s got a heart of gold. And we had a blast writing together.” —Paul Feig, creator of Freaks and Geeks and director of Bridesmaids
“Patty Lin is one f*%king brave lady! What do you do when you find yourself at a bizarre crossroads? You have what everyone in the world wants, but it’s not what’s in your heart. It takes courage to trust yourself and walk away. I am deeply in love with Patty and her tough, funny Tinseltown tale. This book is more than just a showbiz memoir, it’s the story of a beautiful, creative soul getting back to who she really is.” —Emily Spivey, writer for Saturday Night Live and Parks and Recreation
