Reading/Analyzing books counts toward Daily task to write book

For the first two promotions the daily task is to read a book - no problem found here.  For the next few promotions the daily task is to Write a book - but if you read one instead it counts - how ever if you write a book it will not give a complete even for books that are then published.  After choosing the option of Journalism or Author - wrote 2 books both published and still only have a 75% completion for the daily task.  Creative Whim states it works with writing but does not.  The Writing Career path is very annoying.
