Purple Prosie seems to have everything a writer could ask for. She churns out a successful book every two months, the Princess Cadance claims to be her biggest fan, Purple Prosie has financial security, everything seems to be going well to anypony on the outside looking in.

From the inside looking out though, it is a very different story.

Purple Prosie is a deeply flawed individual with two companions, Morose and Melancholy. She has a growing addiction to alcohol. She's bitter and burned out on love.

And she hates everything she writes.
