The One Female Voice Among All of the Folks

I understood a writer to be someone who wrote their life and tried to make their life interesting enough to write about. For some people, that's a very desperate kind of activity like, oh, I'm going to get myself in this situation so I can write it. Writers before were sort of prototypes for what a writer is. This is a confession. This is how my mind worked. Also, I don't know that this kind of a writer can exist anymore in the current publishing industry. They can exist, but they're not rock stars anymore. It was pretty much a male prerogative at the time to be one of those voices.
