Some articles say I stalked writer (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

essayist

'writer' is the definition.
(essayist is a kind of writer)

'some articles say i stalked' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ESSAYIST' is hidden in the letters of 'articles say i stalked'.

(Other definitions for essayist that I've seen before include "Bacon maybe" , "I write" , "One who writes short pieces on given subject" , "kind of writer" , "Lamb, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
