As another struggling writer, I began to immediately relate to the narrator and his constant frustration at not being able to pull the trigger on making this character, who has been stuck in his head for years, a reality.The story flows along nicely and gives us just enough of a glimpse into his life so that we can see things from his perspective.  As another reviewer mentioned, "diary" is perfect - it's that sort of level of detail where you can figure out what is going on, but in such a way that it is obvious the narrator is writing "for himself" and not explaining out anything.For the very beginning, as the narrator's muse begins messing with his head, I was definitely hooked and I wanted to see where the story would wind up.  The paranoia and distraction the narrator goes through made me laugh and cringe at the same time; if you're also a writer, the "browsing history" moment should elicit a chuckle.Overall this is a great short read, and highly recommended.
