Some writers take to drink, others take to audiences.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Many contemporary authors drink more than they write.
Write when drunk. Edit when sober. Marketing is the hangover.
There are those who write because they believe they have something so marvelous that it will make them famous and wealthy, a lauded commodity who will be invited to a lifetime of cocktail parties.
A good writer is not, per se, a good book critic. No more so than a good drunk is automatically a good bartender.
When people talk about being a writer, the first words that come to mind are glamour and artistic parties like Charles Dickens used to mix cocktails for.
In Hollywood everything is so documented. If you go for a drink with somebody, it's passed around the world so quickly.
The writer crafts their ideal world. In my world, everyone has really long conversations or just picks apart pop culture to death and everyone talks in monologue.
The best audience is intelligent, well-educated and a little drunk.
In the end, being the writer on set is a bit like having organised a big party, but you're not allowed to eat or drink anything. You just have to stand in the corner.
Writing a novel is not method acting and I find it easy to step out of it at cocktail hour.
