“Write drunk, edit sober.” I’m too drunk right now to recall who actually said that, but I like that shit! (Sober me would like to note that Ernest Hemingway gets credit for that quote.)
I cannot think of another profession where I could get plastered, then go back and clean my mess up before it got out. That kind of damage control usually takes effect after the fact.
Writing is something that I truly enjoy and really love. Sometimes more than reading. Until recently though, I had no idea that I had a need to write. That’s why I have decided to start and I will not stop until I reach my goal.
About this goal. I kinda feel like this needs to be nailed down. I want to write professionally so I have to start somewhere. That’s why I am now promoting this blog. Funny, this blog started out as a hobby. Just something to distract me and provide an outlet where my frustrations and rants could be vented. Holy shit, I just realized I’ve been keeping a public diary! Well played, writing Gods, well played.
I think it’s time to wrap this up and sober up a bit. (Did I just write that out loud)?
I can’t begin to tell you how many blog posts I have shoved out into the world with the assistance of a beverage or 34, convinced the I would soon be getting a Nobel Prize, then I wake up in the morning and my first thought is “What the hell did I just do last night?”…

Bahahahaha! As long as I don’t go all “Hunter S. Thompson” I think imbibing while writing is perfectly fine!
