Why, In Order To Be A Writer, D'You Need To Be Drunk, Stoned Or Crazy?

For one thing being stoned or drunk wasn't the black mark it is today.100 years ago no one would think twice about you getting high. In the time periods of many great writers they were probably on something because everyone was probably on something. I am betting these same men also smoked, but doubt that contributed to the creative process.

As for being crazy or eccentric. These are terms given to anyone outside the norm. Frankly if you were normal you probably wouldn't make a career out of writing about your imaginary friends and their adventures
