Arthur Graham:
Which role is more central to your sense of self: Editor, author, or publishing drone-monkey?
Arthur Graham
Within every wordsmith, there are three common archetypes: editor, author, and drone-monkey. Each of these are further subdivided into three distinct personae; the editor encompassing the biker, the grandma, and the totally-not-gay UFC fighter; the author harboring the middle-aged fast food worker, the call girl, and the drunk Japanese salaryman; and the drone-monkey accommodating the runaway slave, the herbal enema enthusiast, and the self-analytical wordsmith.
