Write when drunk. Edit when sober. Marketing is the hangover.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I get drunk writing words. I don't drink or do drugs, but I get so carried away with writing that I get inebriated from it.
Some writers take to drink, others take to audiences.
Many contemporary authors drink more than they write.
Many people - and I think I am one of them - are more productive when they've had a little to drink. I find if I drink two or three brandies, I'm far better able to write.
I've written some really good songs that I love hungover because I wasn't overthinking it.
Writing a novel is not method acting and I find it easy to step out of it at cocktail hour.
If you're stumbling out of a bar, and people tweet about it, well, don't be dumb. If you're going to get falling-down drunk, stay at home - which I did a lot of.
I keep telling people: Don't make me the poster boy for AA because I don't know a lot about sobriety, but I do know a lot about drinking.
Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.
I've written songs sober and I've written songs high.
