Post 3 (PWR 2)

I find Dibbell's position to be a difficult one to determine in this piece. While coming from the stance of a traditional pen and paper writer, Dibbell seems to be more confused and disoriented as to the meaning of the term "writer," which he believed he had come to understand over the years, rather than trying to drive home the point that "true" writing is the craft that he practiced as a youth. I believe that in a subversive way he is trying to do the latter, but it seems that he doesn't want to take a definitive stand on this point; probably because he realizes the reality is much more complicated than that.
