Explanation of the Writers' Indulgence

     When we think of the creativity of writers, we also tend to think of their unhealthy habits lie drinking and drugs. Being a writer myself, I feel like I have at least some idea of why this is. 

     As a writer, I am always trying to portray the way I see the world, and my way of seeing it is by having new experiences. Drugs and alcohol are one way to have new experiences without having to actually do anything. Even though they have extremely negative outcomes and can be addictive, they really do produce different experiences. 

     These paraphernalia may help writers, but it certainly isn't a good crutch to use.
