Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Lonely Pen refers to the relationship between me and the instrumentation I use to relay my thoughts and feelings to the world. It also uses personification, metaphor, and hyperbole to illustrate the passion involved with writing itself. The title describes this all perfectly and, in my humble opinion, is my most important piece. We will see if history indeed bears me out. A writer, any writer of any kind, has to create an audience and tell them a story. The success of the writing has somewhat less to do with the skill of the writer and his techniques than it will have to do with the reception and interpretations of his audience. Why does a writer write? He writes because he must write. He writes as easily as he speaks and as necessary as he breathes. Once written, they all have a life and destiny of their own beyond the writer’s control yet gaining for him his immortality.
