I'm wondering how many of you have backed away from "fame." 

It comes in all sizes. 

The joke about people in radio broadcasting is that it is "the lowest wrung of the entertainment ladder."  Even if true, it is still brutal. I had to be better than 300 other applicants for one prestige job I had.  Imagine the pressure these days to be an "influencer."

I'd like to know authors' views on what you consider "getting there."
