In December of 2013, Shonda Rhimes, who considers herself an introvert, took on a yearlong challenge to say “yes†to everything that came her way — party invitations, baby showers, running ABC (we’re assuming) — and that experiment is now going to be a book. Simon & Schuster is publishing Rhimes’s first book, Year of Yes, for November 2015. The result of that year, Rhimes said in a statement, was “a little insane, a lot terrifying and sometimes wildly embarrassing.â€Â “So this is not a story I ever planned to share with anyone,†she said. “However, once Simon & Schuster asked me, I had no choice — what else could I say but yes?†If you really wanted Rhimes to read your screenplay, you missed your window.
