Former president Barack Obama has been "Working" on his third memoir for several years.
Sources told the Atlantic that when Obama discussed his book, for which he and Michelle received a combined advance of $65 million, he tended to point out that he was writing it himself-unlike his wife, who used a ghostwriter.
According to a New York Times report published over the weekend, Obama is still aggressively sensitive about his lack of productivity in relation to Michelle.
The amount of time Obama has spent writing the book "Remains among the touchiest of topics," the Times reports, and it is starting to irritate some of the people involved with the project.
Obama, described as "a deliberate writer prone to procrastination-and lengthy digression," reportedly insisted on not being held to a specific deadline.
The Times notes that Obama is "Seriously considering splitting the project into two volumes" in an effort to get something into print before the end of the year.
The Washington Free Beacon predicted in 2015 that Obama would become "The first U.S. president to compose a multi-volume opus about [his] time in office."
