The term 'Writer's devil' flatters you that in some way, you are a writer -- or have something to write about. It probably simply means 'Aggressive Autocorrect'.
Like the Universe is some how perched over your shoulder, grinning as you typed, just waiting for you to get up and leave so it can delete one letter here or mash two sentences together there that have exactly nothing to do with each other.
How often have I pored over 5 short lines of text that I was convinced could save or damn a rocky relationship with a girl; How often have I decided to write something I felt strongly about on Facebook, Hit SEND, or Click POST, only to look back at it a day later and the fat, evil goblin would poke it's head out and spit at me,
"Ha! Fooled ya. Now that chick thinks that your SMS apology was nothing more than some tasteless sexual come-on and all your Facebook Friends think you can't spell past your own name.
Oh no please. No need to thank me. Lookie-lookie! See that 1 LIKE over there? I bet that guy read it all. Probably had to do a mental running-jump over that massive typo I left in the 4th paragraph ... Always welcome, mate. Always welcome"
