Writers, as they gain success, feel like outsiders because writers don't come together in real groups.

Summary

This quote suggests that successful writers often struggle with a sense of isolation or feeling like outsiders because unlike other professions, writers don't typically gather in large groups or have a strong sense of community. While writers may individually achieve success in their craft, they may still yearn for the camaraderie and support that is commonly found in other professions or industries. This observation highlights the unique and perhaps solitary journey that writers often undertake in their pursuit of success.
