Great story about the struggles of being a traditional writer. It used to be impossible to reach a big audience without a publisher, and for some writers this was their livelihood. You capture the passion that the writer has for his craft and willingness to make sacrifices.
Viktor did not know what force was driving him forward in that literary marathon. He had to fight hard against the speed of his ideas, which flowed like waterfalls, and the movement of his hand with the pencil. Many ideas were lost, but new ones fit into the plot, which delighted him more and more. He had a mission. He had a mission... that mission was to finish writing that book. He needed it as much as the air he breathed.
