The Despair of the Writer

Yet another earlier piece of writing

The despair of the writer is not within his own confidence or skill, but the lack of independence from others' lives. Writers often seek their own lives only to find that they are destined to tell those not of their own. They never tell the truth because they don't have one to tell. All they do is repeat the lies of others in hope of finding... something. But true writers do not need to write these down, for their audience is always an audience... of one.
