"I don't know why, but every writer feels the need to write about being in a slump at least once." 😂 It's awesome for a writer to write about a writer who has thoughts about writers!
Since it seems the author here insists on finding success through his own efforts alone, does that mean that he's too pure of heart to be corrupted by the devil? His "editor" sure does seem more clueless than I expected, but I suppose it does give the writer more of an excuse to share some philosophies LOL
