writer's in the sense of writer has rather writer is hence I've rather than the other is, if you get what I mean?

well I got the answer but still flumoxed

I'll try again then:

in +csi (new Russia not strictly accurate but) + ive (for writer's belonging to the writer who we can use as "I" so I have shortened to I've)

All together makes incisive = sharp-witted. Hope that makes sense for you.
