    ATEOTT 42 Transcript EPISODE 42 [INTRODUCTION] [00:00:02] SP: I just got right to the end. I was so terrified. Of course, I was clueless. I had no self-awareness. All I was doing was feeling the emotion. I was just so terrified of actually finishing it, and then putting it out there for people to judge, even though nobody would give a shit, or even know that I'd written or anything. In my mind, it was a big deal. I just, like what they say in psychology, when you act out, you do something. I'm not going to say what it was, but it was enough that blew up my marriage and blew up the rest of what a regular life I had at that point. It forced me to ask myself, why am I doing this? Am I just crazy? Why do I keep saving money, taking two years writing a book; nobody wants it. Nobody buys it. I can't get it published. Everybody thinks I'm an idiot. My family's in utter distress over, “Poor Steve. He's going down the tubes.” I had to ask myself over and over, “Really, why am I doing this?” It's not for the money, because I'm not making any money. It's not for the recognition, because I'm not getting any recognition. I didn't see anything on the horizon, either. It wasn't like I thought, “Oh, I'm just this close and I'll be over the hump.” The answer that I came up with is, I just can't do anything else.

Under the proposed settlement agreement, Macmillan will immediately lift restrictions it has imposed on discounting and other promotions by e-book retailers and will be prohibited until December 2014 from entering into new agreements with similar restrictions. The proposed settlement agreement also will impose a strong antitrust compliance program on Macmillan, including requirements that it provide advance notification to the department of any e-book ventures it plans to undertake jointly with other publishers and regularly report to the department on any communications it has with other publishers. Also for five years, Macmillan will be forbidden from agreeing to any kind of most favored nation (MFN) provision that could undermine the effectiveness of the settlement. Macmillan has its principal place of business in New York City. It publishes e-books and print books through publishers such as Farrar, Straus and Giroux and St. Martin’s Press.
