Clue: Writer of article about guy: an awful time without love? (5,4)
Answer: AGONY AUNT
Explanation: Definition: Writer
An envelope ('without') of O ('love') in AGNYAUNT, a charade of AGNYAUN, another envelope ('about') of GNYAU, an anagram ('awful') of 'guy an' in AN ('article') plus T ('time'). More awkward to describe than to parse.
