How do you people who write drunk write drunk? I get three sips in and am ready for a nap.

@effthealgorithm I had to respont: George Plimpton: "Do you ever find yourself using liquor as a stimulant?" HEMINGWAY: "Jesuit priests used to say a man who was beguiled by alcohol was voluntarily giving up his reason. I have never written a word that I can remember having written drunk.

@effthealgorithm Lots of practice.

@effthealgorithm Like Hemingway, who was born in the same part of Chicago as me, I have a pretty high tolerance for alcohol. I write and edit sober, but I find when drinking, it's the same as when I play pool. Being just buzzed enough can be fun.

@effthealgorithm I could never drink and draw, but at night on cannabis, I'm an art machine.
