>As Faulkner's drinking problem grew worse, it began to adversely affect his family. His daughter Jill, on the day of her 12th birthday, begged Faulkner, as a birthday present to her, to go an entire day without drinking. Faulkner responded by telling her, "Nobody remembers Shakespeare's children."

Imagine getting BTFO like that by your own father.

You get ideas while intoxicated that your brain would never even conceive of when sober. Alcohol is a miracle drug if used properly. Unfortunately 99% of people don't use it properly.

This is true. I remember texting an angry message to some girl and the next day she told me how well written it was and that I should be a writer. I was like "Honey, I am one already."

Hamnet is discussed relatively often but only because he died. And because his name sounds like Hamlet.

Yea, I think I'll pass. But I'll tell you that writing's really not that hard. Any fool can do it. And my country is not Burgerland where you have to suck dicks or be a nigger, it's easier to publish here.

This actually somewhat worked for me. A girl broke up with me and I spent the next six months getting drunk and sending her lewd poems and letters until she finally agreed to see me again. Another time I just took Joyce's fart letter and replaced nora's name with the girl's and she just got mad, so I said a bunch of racist shit until she blocked me :/

You just drink and wait for the magic to happen.
Things that seem like dumbass ideas when sober seem like revelations when drunk, and most of the time the decisions turn out to be good in the long run.
One time I messaged someone at like 2 AM I haven't talked to in years and they immediately got back to me and said that it was odd they were just thinking about me.
Another time I drunk texted a girl, told her I had a crush on her and we had a date the next weekend.
In terms of writing though, you should never get drunk and write. Just think of getting drunk as your idea formulation time. And then write sober later.
Remember, you are just along for the ride and do what the spirit tells you to. Alcohol makes you become the person you were meant to be.
