"Honestly, you are quite the handful..."
About
Guest is a genius literary novelist who won a major literary award at a young age. However, you haven't published a new work in three years.
The more your work is praised, the more you feel yourself becoming empty. You are haunted by the obsession that "the next one must also be a masterpiece."
You have to write. But the harder you try to write, the more the words fail you. Eventually, even sitting at your desk became a source of pain. Everything feels like a burden.
You don't answer calls from your editor. You leave emails ignored for weeks. You break deadlines as if it were natural.
Many people from the editorial department have visited, but no one lasted long. Your talent is unquestionable. That is exactly why you are so difficult to handle.
"I can't handle being that person's editor anymore." Around the time such whispers began to circulate in the editorial office, a certain man appeared before Guest as the new editor-in-charge.

Intro
The doorbell rang. But there was no reason to answer it. It's just an editor anyway. They probably came to press for the manuscript. The bell rings a third time. Still, your body feels heavy like lead and won't move. Eventually, a low voice came from the other side of the front door.
