I hate to break it to you but lots of famous and respected artists and authors have done that. Get off your moral high horse. Everyone is different, and some people open up more when they're a bit drunk and that's when they're the most creative. OH MY GOD HORRIFYING I KNOW

[(Anonymous)]

I agree tbqh

[unicornherds]

I agree. Mostly.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't have a problem with people who create under the influence of things, but someone who brags about their substance use sounds obnoxious to start with

[(Anonymous)]

lol yeah, that's right, you do sound pretentious.

How is it 'cheating', though, that doesn't even make any sense.

[greenvelvetcake]

Party because it feels like cheating

You're the boss! Party time!

[helenadax]

There are books that couldn't have been written without drugs, alcohol or general insanity. It's for the greater good.

[(Anonymous)]

you must loathe stephen king then

[(Anonymous)]

Write drunk, edit sober.

[darth_starkiller]

Well then OP, better not visit an art gallery any time soon.

[pengychan]

Pffft, writing while drunk is not the only way I can be creative - just the way I have most fun. Bet plenty of people are like that, too: they just find it funnier. And let me tell you - when I re-read it the next day, I get the best laughs.
Right before I realize it's proofreading time.

I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE CUT LOOSE

[chardmonster]

AND I AM STANDING IN THE CORNER AT THE PARTY SOBER AND ANXIOUS SO I JUDGE THEM

[(Anonymous)]

yeah because Hemmingway and Dickens and Janis Joplin and the Beatles and hundreds of other huge artists/authors/musicians all totally suck and weren't actually creative at all amirite

[diet_poison]

Well, at least you realized that you sounded pretentious.

Congratulations on never being able to listen to any music ever

[(Anonymous)]

[(Anonymous)]

How's it cheating though. It's still that person's writing or art.

[insanenoodlyguy]

If it works, it works.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree, but not in the HOW DARE YOU sense. It's more the fact that people are fucking stupid when drunk/high, and I'm annoyed their creative works get more attention than mine. Admittedly they're more organic and flow better (mostly, provided there is editing afterwards) but still. I feel like my hard work is being laughed at while they vomit over a page and get praised. This annoys me.

Yes, I know it's petty jealousy. I've made my peace with that.

[saiika_von_maou]

Not to spoil your righteous indignation, but getting drunk/high can sometimes be the only way a writer can shut up their inner editor. I write half-asleep because that helps me to write without thinking, which is a rather important part of being a writer. You just edit later when you're sober/awake.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, whatever. I write drunk, edit sober, and my writing has really improved. My essays get better grades. My characterization becomes more interesting and varied. My vocabulary seems to expand. And I just enjoy the writing process all the more because I'm not bogged down by self-doubt.

So yeah, you sound pretentious, but I really don't care.

[(Anonymous)]

People like you are why I drink while reading F!S.

[seiberwing]

I tend to write really creatively when I'm sleep-deprived, or on the tail end of a manic or depressive streak. Nothing wrong with an altered state of consciousness to get a different look at matters.

Actually I am drunk right now so am I cheating?

[saku]

i'm a writer above all else, but i've never written drunk, mostly because i'm a lightweight and get hit hard when i drink, and then i feel sick and go to bed. but i don't think it's fair to judge other people who react differently. they're still themselves while under the influence, if you want to be technical. so that potential was already there, they just need some way to get to it. like i have to be in the mood for my writing to be any decent. i wouldn't call it "cheating" just because i have to be in a specific state of mind before i feel ok writing. it's kind of the same thing here. or like if you need coffee to concentrate on your writing or music or whatever.

i'd love to paint high tho. i just don't have any connections drug-wise except my brother and lmao i'm not ready to go there

i used to be teetotal and a complete stickler about drugs. things change when you work in the restaurant business, lemme tell you.

[(Anonymous)]

I know I'm in a minority here, but I'm personally against drug and alcohol use and so I can see where you're coming from. You shouldn't have to get "fucked up" to be creative. It's no excuse.
