The First Person is a psychotropic drug that is
ingested by writers in dire need of 'talent', a popular misnomer for the
metabolic state whereby inspiration is inhaled and brilliance is exhaled. Abuse
is commonplace among the lower classes.
Symptoms of the First Person include agoraphobic
compulsions, loss of descriptive memory and manic finger spasms. Sufferers have
been known to turn out 10-20 pages of writing a day with a declining rate of
cohesive thought.
Should you come across a writer exhibiting these
symptoms then do not approach them directly: they will lash out at the first sign
of honest criticism. Instead apply a steady Third Person diet plan immediately.
The Second Person is also recommended but should only be applied in the later
stages.
Owen Townend is currently undergoing this diet and
is showing some small degree of success. Remember, it is a long journey but one
that leads to recovery. Be sure to keep him in your prayers.
